Leeds United make winning start to season after Wolves own goal

thenationalnews.com

Leeds United shrugged off the loss of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha over the summer as they defeated Wolves 2-1 in their season opener at Elland Road on Saturday.

Daniel Podence fired Wolves into an early lead before Jesse Marsch's men fought back impressively. Rodrigo blasted in from a narrow angle to level before Rayan Ait-Nouri's own goal decided the game 16 minutes from time.

Leeds manager Marsch handed Premier League debuts to four of his summer signings. Right-back Rasmus Kristensen and midfielders Brenden Aaronson, Marc Roca and Tyler Adams were in the starting line-up.

But it was Podence who fired Wolves into a sixth-minute lead, volleying home off the underside of the crossbar following Hwang Hee-chan's knockdown.
