Kalvin Phillips can curse his luck for being Leeds’s finest performer and being the unfortunate whose deflection ensured Raúl Jiménez’s shot settled this contest and allowed Wolves to move from 15th to sixth in the Premier League.
On balance Nuno Espírito Santo’s side deserved the victory, having turned their opponent’s early ascendancy around, doing so convincingly following the break. A pleased Wolves manager said: “It was a good performance with some aspects to improve. We were better in the second half, but at the start it was very difficult for us.”
