Leeds United started the new Premier League season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Elland Road. The Whites came from a goal down inside the first six minutes to do something they have not managed in either of the last two seasons and win on the opening day.
Daniel Podence had opened the scoring for the visitors but Leeds responded well and got back on level terms after 24 minutes through Rodrigo Moreno. Jesse Marsch’s side were forced to weather an early storm at the beginning of the second half but the use of his bench helped swing the game back in their favour.
And it was Leeds who found that elusive winning goal with 15 minutes to play as Patrick Bamford’s cross was deemed as an own goal by Rayan Ait Nouri despite Brenden Aaronson’s claim it was his. Here is how the national media reported the game.
