Leeds United have lost against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Championship this afternoon.
Leeds United have suffered a huge blow to their chances of finishing in the top six of the Championship this season.
The West Yorkshire have suffered a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at home this afternoon.
Nouha Dicko’s goal in the 38th minute of the encounter proved to be the difference between the two sides at Elland Road.
Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan was following the match, and he has given his take on the final result.
“It’s hard to get my head around this one,” Whelan told BBC Sport. “First 45 minutes, Leeds didn’t deserve anything. The second half, with the personnel changes, probably. But they didn’t seem to be at the races in the first half – they were forcing passes that weren’t on, giving sloppy passes away.
“Leeds should have come back off that Newcastle draw being elated – but they did not turn up. They should have taken so much confidence from that. They toiled and probed today but actually created little.”
“I think the worrying thing is the psychological damage,” added Whelan. “Leeds have to start doing things a lot better. They didn’t get going, at all, in that first 45 minutes and gave away so many easy passes.
“The intensity rose in the second half but did they test the Wolves keeper? Wolves sat in banks and invited Leeds to break them down – but they couldn’t.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes at Elland Road on Monday afternoon, hosts Leeds had 67% of the possession, took 12 shots of which two were on target, and earned 10 corners, according to BBC Sport.
Visitors Wolves had just 33% of the possession, took 11 shots of which four were on target, and earned five corners, according to BBC Sport.
The result means that Leeds are now seventh in the Championship table with 73 points from 43 matches.
