Wolverhampton signed a great operation by winning at Elland Road (1-0) in the last match of the 5e Premier League day. Each team will have had its half-time in a duel that is more enticing than exciting.
If from the outset, Helder Costa fell into the box after light contact with Joao Moutinho, the “Whites” were too vague in front of the goals guarded by Rui Patricio. Opposite, the “Wolves”, more than ever with a Portuguese accent, as evidenced by their tunic reminiscent of that of the Lusitanians, were more realistic. First by the former Angevin Romain Saïss who thought to give the advantage to his people after a nice volley from the left at the entrance to the surface (53 ‘). It was without counting on the intervention of the VAR who refused the goal for a very light offside from Daniel Podence at the start of the action. Finally, it was Wolverhampton’s star center forward, the Mexican Raul Jimenez who broke the deadlock after a nice festival in front of Leeds midfielders and a deflected strike in his goal by the English neo-international Kalvin Philipps, deceiving a Ilan Meslier caught on the wrong foot (70 ‘).
With this short but precious success, Nuno Esperito Santo’s men passed in front of their evening opponent and found themselves sixth with 9 points. 2 points behind, Leeds is 10e.
