Luke Ayling explains key difference between first and second-half in Leeds United's win at Wolves

Luke Ayling has explained the feeling in the Leeds United dressing room following his dramatic late winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 31-year-old popped up in injury-time to secure all three points for the Whites after coming from two goals down at Molineux.

It proved to be a disastrous first-half for Leeds, who were forced to make three early substitutions when Patrick Bamford, Diego Llorente and Mateusz Klich all limped off before half-time. And Wolves took advantage of Leeds' problems and scored two quick-fire goals as Jonny and Francisco Trincao gave Bruno Lage's side a healthy cushion.

But the game changed on the hour mark when Raul Jimenez was shown his second yellow card for a late challenge on Illan Meslier, who also had to be substituted. The red card gave Leeds the momentum, though, and they pulled one back through Jack Harrison, before Rodrigo levelled the scoreline moments later.
