Jesse Marsch’s new-look Leeds got off to the perfect start as they came from behind to beat Wolves 2-1 at Elland Road.
Wolves dominated the second half, but were pegged back when Rayan Ait-Nouri turned Patrick Bamford’s cross into his own net (74) to give Leeds the three points.

🙌 We start the season with a W!
