Wolverhampton Wanderers made Premier League history by becoming the sixth team to lose their first five league games, succumbing to a 3-1 defeat against Leeds United at Molineux Stadium. The hosts got off to a flying start, with Fer Lopez setting up Ladislav Krejci, who skillfully slotted the ball past Karl Darlow just eight minutes into the game, marking Darlow's Molineux debut.
However, Leeds United staged a remarkable turnaround, scoring three unanswered goals before halftime to take control of the match. Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed in a Jayden Boggle cross to equalize, Anton Stach curled a beautiful shot into the top corner to put Leeds ahead, and Noah Okafor sealed the win with a left-footed strike. The second half saw little significant action, with Leeds ultimately securing a 3-1 victory.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed in his first goal for Leeds United, nodding in Jayden Bogle's cross past Jose Sa. The goal came after a well-worked Leeds attack, and Calvert-Lewin capitalized on the opportunity to level the score.
Leeds quickly took the lead after Krejci fouled Calvert-Lewin on the edge of the box, and Anton Stach expertly curled the resulting free-kick into the top corner. The Whites continued to press their advantage, and another new signing, Noah Okafor, scored his first goal for the team. Stach's high-pressing effort won the ball back, and he calmly played in Okafor, who slotted the ball into the bottom corner, extending Leeds' lead.
Wolves attempted to spark a comeback at halftime with three substitutions, and one of the new players, Marshall Munetsi, nearly got the hosts back in contention. A well-worked corner ended with Munetsi, whose header was brilliantly tipped over by Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow. Munetsi had another chance shortly after, chesting down a pass and volleying towards goal, but Darlow held firm again, showcasing his impressive reflexes.
Leeds United's Sean Longstaff also had a scoring opportunity, firing a shot towards goal, but Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa gathered the ball securely, denying the visitors a fourth goal. Despite Wolves' efforts, Leeds maintained their lead, ultimately securing a 3-1 victory and earning three crucial points.
