First-team coach Mark Jackson has explained the importance of the Leeds United academy after a number of players contributed to last week's win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Whites recovered from going two goals down to secure a 'much-needed' 3-2 victory at Molineux to move seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Goals from Jonny Otto and Francisco Trincao put Wolves in the ascendancy, before the hosts were reduced to ten-men. Raul Jimenez was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on Illan Meslier.
This proved to be the turning point in the game as Leeds scored times in the second half, with Jack Harrison, Rodrigo and Luke Ayling all netting to secure a second successive win for the Whites. It felt like a massive win in the context of Leeds' season and Jackson has expressed his delight to secure all three points before the international break.
