Leeds United keep Premier League survival hopes alive with 'one of the best' comebacks

Leeds United improved their prospects of avoiding relegation from the Premier League after staging a stunning comeback to clinch a 3-2 win at 10-man Wolverhampton Wanderers, a result manager Jesse Marsch said was "one of the best".

The Wolves dominated the first half and led 2-0 after goals from Jonny Otto and Trincao, while Leeds saw striker Patrick Bamford suffer an early injury.

However, the tide turned when Wolves' Mexican forward Raul Jimenez was sent off eight minutes into the second half after earning a second yellow card for colliding with Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

Leeds made the numerical advantage count, with two goals in the space of four minutes from Jack Harrison and Rodrigo that levelled the contest.

There was more drama in stoppage time as Wolves failed to clear a free kick from their area. Ayling lashed home an unstoppable shot in the 90th minute, sparking a touchline melee as tempers flared in both dugouts at Molineux.

Manager Marsch said Leeds "can control their own destiny" and retain their Premier League status. The win lifted Leeds seven points clear of the relegation zone.

"I just want us to stay true and stay calm to our process, to push ourselves every day, to finding a way," the manager said.

"I believe we have the quality of people and of players that we can control our own destiny and find a way to not just survive in this situation, but thrive in it. That's the goal."

Leeds' fightback was all the more impressive after they had been forced to withdraw four players through injury, three of them before half-time. Bamford aggravated a foot problem, Diego Llorente had a back spasm, Mateusz Klich suffered concussion and Meslier was forced off with a bruised hip after his collision with
