Rodrigo seals vital victory for Leeds over 10-man Wolves in furious thriller

theguardian.com

Leeds, a year to the day since coming from 2-0 down to win at Molineux after Raul Jiménez was sent off, enjoyed another crazy victory over Wolves to climb five places and two points above the relegation zone.

In a game as chaotic as it was exciting, on an afternoon of torrential downpours, sunshine and double rainbows, Jonny Otto was sent off after scoring the first goal in what threatened to be a famous fightback for Wolves who remain in the relegation battle after a run of one win in six games.

This was only Leeds’ second win since Jesse Marsch was dismissed last month but Javi Gracia’s side will have belief after flying into a winning lead through goals from Jack Harrison, Luke Ayling and Rasmus Kristensen.

Rodrigo racing clear to clip the ball over José Sá to make it 4-2 deep into seven minutes of stoppage time, only for Michael Salisbury to be sent over to the VAR and witness Adama Traoré’s shirt being pulled in the build-up and then allow the goal, summed up an absolutely bonkers afternoon.
