(Wolverhampton-Leeds 1-0) Illan Meslier (20) has had big saves and mistakes as a Leeds goalkeeper. On Friday night, the Frenchman was unlucky when the ball hit him on the back and rolled into the net.
It was the bundle of muscles Adama Traoré (25) who received the ball in the opposite direction, accelerated and thundered with his right leg. The ball crashed into the aluminum and as he stepped onto the field again it also hit a disgruntled Leeds goalkeeper at 1-0, which was also the end result.
– Of course it is bitter, but it is 100 percent acquitted, says Erik Thorstvedt in the TV 2 studio about the own goal.
– It was an unfortunate goal, but it was a huge shot from Adama. He works very hard, Pedro Neto tells BT Sport.
– The ball hits the crossbar first and then our goalkeeper. It was an unfortunate goal, Leeds’s Tyler Roberts tells BBC Sport.

On the other side of the field, Rui Patricio was very good, and a couple of stops in overtime should prove crucial for Wolverhampton to maintain a 1-0 lead.
– He had a bad time but he was very good, says coach Nuno Espirito Santo about his goalkeeper.
Leeds forward Patrick Bamford admitted he had the ball in the net, but his goal was disallowed by a fine offside.
This means that Wolverhampton have beaten Leeds 1-0 twice this season.
Therefore, Leeds stick to the statistics that say they win or lose. So far, six games have been won and seven lost away from home. Not a single tie.

Pedro Neto is one of this year’s young players in the Premier League. He has five goals and four assists so far in the league. He played again this time, especially in the first half, but there were no goals away.
– It was important to keep zero behind, so we are happy, Neto tells BT Sport.
– The players have a unique attitude towards the game. Players like Adama Traoré and Pedro Neto are really dangerous. It was a wonderful shot, says manager Nuno Espirito Santo to BT Sport.
Leeds were missing Kalvin Phillips injured, and then things often go wrong. The last five Premier League games without Phillips have ended like this: Arsenal-Leeds 4-2, Leeds-Brighton 0-1, Crystal Palace-Leeds 4-1, Leeds-Leicester 1-4, Wolverhampton-Leeds 1-0.

– We were standing the whole way, but it didn’t work. “It just shouldn’t go the way we want it today,” Leeds’ Tyler Roberts told BBC Sport.
– Everything went in our favor: ball possession, dominance and chances. We had twice as many chances as they did, but we couldn’t score, coach Marcelo Bielsa tells BBC Sport.
With this victory, Wolverhampton edged out Leeds at the table. They have 33 and 33 points now respectively.
