Jonny and Francisco Trincao staked Wolves to a 2-0 lead by halftime, and Leeds were lost at sea — not only behind on the scoreboard, but second-best in every conceivable way. Jimenez was sent off shortly after the restart, and Leeds were back level within 13 minutes. The stoppage-time winner, which eventually came from Luke Ayling, felt inevitable when eight minutes of added time went up on the board.

The victory is monumental for Leeds (29 points), who now find themselves seven points clear of the the relegation zone, having played just one game more than 18th-place Watford. Suddenly, Brentford are just one point above in 15th, as are 14th-place Newcastle from there.

Final score: Wolves 2, Leeds 3

1. Results all that matter for Marsch this season: Jesse Marsch undoubtedly has much larger long-term plans for Leeds than “scrape and claw our way to 17th place,” but that can all wait until this summer and next season. Four games into his Premier League career, and Marsch has guided his side to six points (2W-0D-2L) and dragged them farther from the relegation zone than they’ve been all season. Barring an incredible collapse down the stretch, Leeds appear set for a third season in the Premier League. It’s safe to say the American is doing quite well to ingratiate himself with his new supporters.
