Alan Shearer included two Leeds United players in his Premier League Team of the Week after Friday evening’s dramatic 3-2 victory. It was the first time the Whites had come behind to win in the league for over 13 months, since the 3-1 win against Leicester City last season.
With his side 2-0 down, decimated by injuries and right up against it at Molineux, Jesse Marsch must have feared the worst but his players, aided by the dismissal of Raul Jimenez, found a way to pick up a vital victory. Jonny and Francisco Trincao’s first-half goals were cancelled out within a mad three-minute period just after the hour mark.
Quickfire goals from Jack Harrison and Rodrigo laid the foundations for Luke Ayling to steal all three points in stoppage time in the West Midlands. The winner from the Leeds right-back was his second goal of the season and Shearer felt it was more than enough to justify his inclusion in his Team of the Week.
