'The Miracle at Molineux' - Leeds United faithful on the 'total chaos' of 3-2 comeback win

Leeds United fans have delivered their verdict after Jesse Marsch's side came from behind to earn a memorable 3-2 victory against ten-man Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night. In a topsy-turvy encounter at Molineux, the Whites had to fight back from multiple injury setbacks to claim three invaluable points.

The Whites were forced to make an early change when Patrick Bamford limped off holding his ankle. And their worries worsened as Diego Llorente was taken off with what looked like a back issue.

Wolves took advantage of Leeds' struggles and scored two quick-fire goals as Jonny and Francisco Trincao both struck within five minutes. However, there would be more problems for the Whites before half-time when Mateusz Klich had to go off with a concussion.

After the break, the drama continued as Raul Jimenez was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on Illan Meslier. But the latter came out worse off and had to replaced by Kristoffer Klaesson, leaving Marsch with no more substitutes available.

Jimenez's red card gave Leeds the momentum, though, and they pulled one back through Jack Harrison, before Rodrigo levelled the scoreline moments later for his second goal in as many matches. And there was still time for the Whites to grab the winner.

Luke Ayling brought the ball down inside the area and smashed an effort into the back of the net to send the travelling fans wild. It is a result that has moved Leeds seven points clear of the relegation zone with eight matches to play.

The Leeds supporters are delighted with how their side reacted to a disappointing start to the game. Here is what some had to say on social media.

@Jerryf007: What a result from 2-0 down. MOT #lufc

@LUFCsince67: I’ve seen a bit in the last 55 years but that could be the most amazing evening’s football I’ve ever witnessed. #lufc

@AllanSansome: What a win, one for the ages. Chaos, total chaos. All Leeds Aren't We? Surely? #lufc

@Jonno4466: Sheesh. Seen it all now. I am struggling to believe that actually happened #LUFC

@scottyboy36: Maddest game of football AGAIN. Huge result though. Get innnnnnn #lufc

@GatesyChris: This is why I love you Leeds United every single emotion in 90mins!!!! #lufc

@EllardRory: Half an hour ago I was talking about who we should sell and keep for the Championship...at times I hate this game but at other times it is intoxicating!! Get innnnnnn! #lufc #WOLLEE

@jakewinderman: THE MIRACLE AT THE MOLINEUX IS COMPLETE! That is 1 of the best Leeds matches I've seen during my 16 years as a fan. Harrison, Ayling & Klaesson in relief of Meslier were all absolutely fantastic I am damn proud to be a Leeds fan today. We are truly Marsching On Together! #LUFC

@cgsneal: Jack Harrison my man of the match. Incredible second half. Ayling, Forshaw, James, Klaesson also excellent. Need a lie down now. #lufc

@LUKEE1995: @LUFC please never change! Get in there! Now into the international break, work on the new tactics and shape and get the returning players back to full fitness and hopefully some of the injuries today arnt as bad as they they first seemed!

@GuvBangal: I’m just speechless. Does that paper over the cracks? HUGE 3 points though #lufc

@bielsaball28: We've gone from an absolutely shambolic of 50 minutes of football to beating a quality team with 3 youth kids on the pitch...utter madness. I said if we got 7 points from the 5 games of villa onwards, we've got 6. I think that win has just kept us up...nuts #lufc
