Three first-half goals helped Leeds claim their first Premier League away win of the season at the expense of Wolves, who remain rooted to the foot of the table without a point this term.
The visitors had failed to find the net in the top flight since Lukas Nmecha’s late penalty against Everton on 18 August but they responded magnificently to Ladislav Krejci’s well-taken opener to claim all three points at Molineux.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin brilliantly headed Jayden Bogle’s deflected cross past Jose Sa to restore parity before Anton Stach’s sweetly struck free-kick completed the turnaround eight minutes later.
Things got even better for the visitors on the stroke of half-time when Noah Okafor collected Stach’s pass in his stride and guided a low, left-footed shot into the far corner.
Jorgen Strand Larsen – who signed a new five-year deal with Wolves this week – was introduced alongside Marshall Munetsi and Hugo Bueno at half-time as manager Vitor Pereira attempted to coax a response from his players, but the changes had little effect.
Munetsi’s looping header, which was superbly tipped over the bar by Karl Darlow, was the closest the home side came to reducing the deficit in the second period.
Wolves become only the sixth team to lose their first five games of a Premier League season while Leeds move into the top half.
