Leeds matchwinner also created three chances against Wolves.
Kemar Roofe forced in the match winning goal against Wolves at the weekend, giving Leeds their first win in three games.
Roofe was handed the start for the Whites in the absence of Stuart Dallas, who missed the game through injury.

Northern Ireland international Dallas has been one of the club’s best players since signing from Brentford a year ago, but he may not dislodge Roofe from the starting XI so easily.
In the victory at Molineux, Roofe was a livewire, drawing more fouls (7) than any Leeds player.
Even more impressively, he created three goalscoring chances in the win. This is notable considering the most key passes Dallas has made in a game this season is two.
| Match | Chances Created | |
|---|---|---|
| Kemar Roofe | Wolves vs Leeds | 3 |
| Stuart Dallas | Leeds vs Blackburn | 2 |
| Stuart Dallas | QPR vs Leeds | 1 |
Roofe is a player capable of so much more than Leeds have seen of him this season, evidenced by his 25 goals at Oxford United a year ago.
The step up from playing League Two to Championship football has evidently been an adjustment for him. Yet his display at the weekend will give him confidence moving forward that he can be a major player for the club going forward.
