Leeds mount stirring comeback to down 10-men Wolves

Luke Ayling fired a last-minute winner as Leeds fought back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at 10-man Wolves in one of the Premier League games of the season.

Ayling's late winner clinched Leeds a vital win in their fight for survival after they had trailed to first-half goals from Wolves pair Jonny and substitute Francisco Trincao.

But home striker Raul Jimenez was sent off for his second yellow card early in the second period and Leeds hauled themselves level with two goals in three minutes from Jack Harrison and Rodrigo before Ayling snatched all the points at the death.

It was an impressive fightback from Leeds given they had lost four players to first-half injuries, including striker Patrick Bamford.

Leeds' decision to fire popular Argentinian Marcelo Bielsa and replace him with American Jessie Marsch appears to be a sound one after they secured back-to-back league wins for only the second time this season and moved seven points clear of the relegation zone.

They were boosted by the return to the bench of both Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper after respective three-month layoffs, but were dealt another injury blow in the 23rd minute when Bamford was forced off.

It was tough luck for the striker, who had only returned from his own three-month absence due to a foot injury eight days earlier against Aston Villa, and he was replaced by Sam Greenwood in the 23rd minute.

Wolves had to make a reshuffle of their own soon after when Ruben Neves hobbled out of the action and Trincao took his place.

Trincao had an instant impact as he set up Wolves' 26th-minute opener.

The Portuguese winger skipped clear down the right and cut the ball back for Jonny to steer home a low angled finish into the bottom corner.

Diego Llorente was the next
