Patrick Bamford 6; Raul Jimenez 8, Conor Coady 8: Leeds United v Wolves player ratings

Jimenez's strike via a deflection off Phillips gives Wolves all three points at Leeds

LEEDS UNITED RATINGS: Illan Meslier 7 – Pulled off a number of fine stops, most notably from Daniel Podence. Looked composed and assured between the sticks for Leeds. EPA

Luke Ayling 7 – Led by example, with industrious running up and down the channel. Picked up a yellow card in the second half for an overenthusiastic challenge. AFP

Robin Koch 7 – The young German is really beginning to settle into life at Leeds. With accurate distribution and perceptive positioning, the match against Wolves was another step in the right direction. EPA

Pascal Struijk 6 – Replaced the stricken captain Liam Cooper, after the Scot aggravated an injury in the warmups. The former Ajax defender deputised relatively well; all things considered. EPA

Stuart Dallas 6 – Struggled somewhat up against the tricky Pedro Neto. Had slightly more luck when venturing forward on the overlap. EPA

Kalvin Phillips 6 – In the first half, he ran the show for Leeds. However, the 24-year-old endured a nightmare second period, picking up a yellow card, before turning Raul Jimenez’ shot into his own net. EPA

Jack Harrison 7 – Excellent end product as always, with his pinpoint crosses often squandered by the forwards. Continues to impress from the left. EPA

Mateusz Klich 6 – Started well in the middle for Leeds, but as the game wore on – and as Wolves established their dominance - his impact began to wane. AFP

Helder Costa 6 – Linked up well with Ayling on the right, and looked dangerous for large spells. Unfortunately for the former Wolves man, he lacked conviction in the final third. EPA

Rodrigo 6 – Was wasteful in front of goal, firing straight at the Wolves keeper on more than one occasion. AFP

Patrick Bamford 6 – Ran the channels well, often linking up effectively with the likes of Costa and Rodrigo. Never quite worked a good shooting opportunity for himself. EPA

SUBS: Pablo Hernandez 7 – Instantly injected a bit of life into the Leeds side after coming on with 15 minutes left. Saw his close-range shot blocked by a committed Willy Boly. EPA

Raphinha N/A – Little of note to report as the new signing struggled to influence the game in the final stages. Reuters

Ian Poveda 6 – Threatened in patches, but the ball never quite fell right for the 20-year-old. EPA

WOLVES RATINGS: Rui Patricio 7 – Had very few saves of note to make, but when he was called into action, the Portuguese stopper looked very comfortable. Reuters

Willy Boly 7 – Made a vital late block to deny Pablo Hernandez – one of many important interventions. He was a rock alongside Coady in the heart of the away sides’ defence. EPA

Conor Coady 8 – Read the game beautifully, preventing a number of good Leeds opportunities with crucial tackles and interceptions. A true captain’s performance. EPA

Max Kilman 8 – A superb outing from the 23-year-old, who consistently denied Helder Costa the space that he craved. Didn’t look at all out of his depth. EPA

Nelson Semedo 5 – Struggled massively at times, particularly up against the ever-threatening Jack Harrison. Positionally, the former Barcelona man seemingly has a lot to learn. AFP

Leander Dendoncker 7 – Shielded the back three tremendously well as the most withdrawn of Wolves’ midfielders. Worked diligently at the death the deny Leeds a path back into the game. EPA

Joao Moutinho 7 – Played a crucial role in helping Wolves to wrestle back control of the game in the second half. His passing, as always, was exemplary. Reuters

Pedro Neto 7 – Looked to be the away side's biggest threat in the first half, with a number of his powerful runs setting off alarm bells in the Leeds backline. Was replaced late on, after appearing to run out of steam. AFP

Romain Saiss 6 – Had a wonderful goal ruled out for an offside infringement in the second half. Despite this, his defensive efforts weren’t quite up to scratch. EPA

Daniel Podence 7 – Started the game very brightly, only to see his two efforts at goal well saved by Meslier. Was replaced by Adama Traore on the hour mark. EPA

Raul Jimenez 8 – Scorer of Wolves’ only goal – though he largely has Kalvin Phillips to thank for that. Nevertheless, it was a typically committed performance from the Mexican forward, who ran the Leeds defenders ragged all evening. Reuters

SUBS: Adama Traore 6 – Never quite burst into life as many would have surely expected him to. AFP

Ruben Neves N/A – Had two potentially goal bound shots blocked late on. Reuters

Marcal N/A - Solid defensively in what was a brief cameo in the closing stages. Reuters

A Raul Jimenez shot that took a heavy deflection off the head of Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips gave Wolverhampton Wanderers a hard-fought 1-0 away win in the Premier League on Monday.

Leeds dominated possession in the opening half, firing crosses into the box at a variety of angles and threatening from set pieces without creating much in the way of clear-cut chances.

Wolves improved greatly in the second half and had a Romain Saiss goal ruled out for offside before Jimenez drifted in from the right and cut back to shoot. Phillips attempted to head clear, but only succeeded in wrong-footing his goalkeeper.

The narrow victory put Wolves sixth on nine points from five games, behind Leicester City and Arsenal on goal difference. Newly-promoted Leeds are 10th with seven points.
