In the early morning of March 19, Beijing time, the 30th round of the Premier League took the lead in a match, and Wolves, who are striving for Champions League qualification, encountered Leeds United, which needed to get relegation. As a result, the whole game ended, Wolves suddenly played one less person in a 2-0 situation, and then was overturned by the opponent with three consecutive goals, and Leeds United won 3-2 in a row.
Wolves did not fare well off the season, losing 3 straight at one point. The club was once seen as a relegation team after losing former manager Nuno. However, in the following time, the head coach LaTropics scored consecutive points, and he was even elected the best coach in the Premier League in January. Prior to this game, Wolves were 8th in the Premier League, but only four points behind Manchester United.
Leeds United, on their part, scored 59 points last season, making them the best promotions in Premier League history. This season, however, Leeds United, led by Bielsa, seemed to be seen through by their opponents, and at one point they could not win consecutive games. After entering 2022, the team once lost 6 consecutive games. Facing Nowic at the bottom of the last round, Leeds United finally returned to the victory track.
In this game, the attention of both sides is very high. Wolves, on the other hand, once they win, will continue to reserve the possibility of competing for Champions League qualification. Leeds United, on the other hand, also want to win away from home to get 3 points and strive for early relegation success.
In the 26th minute of the game, wolves, who are stronger and play at home, took the lead in breaking the deadlock. Castro received a cross from his teammate and easily pushed it in front of goal to help the team take a 1-0 lead. In injury time before half-time, Trincon, who was on loan from Barca, scored into the dead corner and Wolves took a two-goal lead.
The game looks like Wolves will score three points, and once they win, United's pressure to fight for 4 will rise further. However, just after returning from the second half, wolves players made their own mistakes and gave Leeds United a good chance. In the 52nd minute, Wolves striker Jimenez was given a red card for a dangerous move, and the home team could only play one less person for the remaining 40 minutes.
As a result, in the following time, the Wolves defense quickly collapsed. In the 64th minute, Leeds scored three combos in front of goal, and finally Harris scored to narrow the score. Two minutes later, Leeds United again played a quick counter-attack, Rodrigo scored successfully, and then he excitedly ran to the audience to celebrate with the fans, and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
After being chased twice in a row, Wolves could only shrink their defense, and they did not want to be staged by their opponents. Leeds United, who played one more person, had a lot of counter-opportunities in the following time and was slow to grasp it. Just when most fans thought that the two sides would end 2-2, the injury time stage, the game began to climax again.
In the 91st minute, Leeds United defender Erin successfully seized the opportunity inside the box and scored a crucial killer goal. In the end, the whole game was over, Leeds United let 2 chase 3, completed a super league reversal, 2 consecutive wins to get 6 points, and injected confidence on the road to relegation. Wolves' loss gave a sigh of relief to Manchester United, who were fighting for fourth.
