However, after Raul Jimenez was sent-off for the hosts, Jack Harrison and Rodrigo levelled it up at 2-2. Luke Ayling then fire home in stoppage time to move Leeds seven points clear of the relegation zone. 

“Yeah the first half wasn’t what we wanted and we knew Wolves are a good team and they were able to pull us apart more than we hoped and the second goal before half-time was a killer.

“It’s a group that has big hearts, quality young men and I’m very thankful to be here with them and to be in a fight with them because even though I’ve only been here a short while I believe in them.

“When we were a man up you hope we can push on and then we can push for the second goal and that’s what happened.
