Leeds United

Leeds United picked up a crucial three points on the opening day of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign, dispatching Wolves in front of a packed Elland Road ...

Wolves started the second 45’ much stronger, keeping Leeds under the cosh for an extended period in which The Whites struggled to get a grip of possession. It was a tightly contested affair in the first half, but Leeds made a spell of intense pressure count. But it was Wolves who made the blistering start, opening the scoring in the sixth minute when Kristensen tried to tank Neto off the ball with Llorente out of position behind him.

Brenden Aaronson earned high praise from manager Jesse Marsch after putting in a starring debut performance in Leeds United's 2-1 win over Wolves.

"It's a big awesome result for us to start the season with three points. "I mean its always great to win, win at home at Elland Road for my first time," he said. I'm taking credit for it," Aaronson said with a smile. "The second goal was in some ways a little against the run of play but we were gathering momentum. "I think all the debutants did quite well. "[Aaronson] is relentless.

He then earned a $30 million transfer to Leeds United, impressing in preseason and becoming an important piece of their nascent EPL campaign. Between Aaronson’s initial move to Salzburg and the Leeds transfer, Philadelphia pocketed $14 million for their academy-developed star. The Philadelphia Union homegrown export and US men’s national team attacker made a memorable first impression as Leeds United’s 2022-23 season got underway Saturday against Wolverhampton Wanderers, helping create both their goals in a 2-1 victory at Elland Road.

Leeds United came from 1-0 down to start their Premier League season with a 2-1 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Leeds United's Jesse Marsch and Wolverhampton Wanderers' Bruno Lage clashed at the full-time whistle of Saturday's Elland Road match after the latter found ...

“After, I passed through some staff and I compliment the staff, I go inside, nothing wrong with it. “I just say that and after I don't listen. “They won, [they played] absolutely great, but there was a point in the first half I heard something I didn't like. He said: “[I hold] nothing against the manager. The two head coaches could be seen exchanging strong words as Lage made for the tunnel at the full-time whistle. Words from Jesse Marsch during Leeds United’s Saturday win crossed the line in opposition boss Bruno Lage’s book.

Leeds United won its first game of the 22-23 Premier League season, but American manager Jesse Marsch didn't get the W without controversy.

Marsch’s words and actions will likely come out, and this story will have more legs in the coming days. Marsch accomplished his task and kept Leeds in the Premier League with a dramatic final-day win vs. Both managers downplayed the incident and praised the other in the end. Until the first half, end of the game, we have a lot of time to shake hands, apologize. “In these days, we cannot say some things — and I heard that in the first half.

Leeds United beat Wolverhampton Wanderers in their opening Premier League game of the season and here are some of the moments you may have missed at Elland ...

In the 69th minute, as Leeds were slowly but surely coming back into the game after a dodgy restart, Brenden Aaronson, still new to Elland Road, seized on the crowd’s energy. In one instance, Leeds tried passing out from the back and instead gave the ball straight to the Wolves attack. Leeds came out for the second half in what felt like something of a slumber.

Leeds United began the new Premier League season with a gutsy 2-1 victory at home to Wolves – but how did we rate the performances?

The lead was so nearly extended shortly after, with the Whites refusing to just accept and rest on their advantage. Tyler Adams was involved all over the pitch, showing energy and desire to win the ball back and then start attacks when he had succeeded in doing so. However, goals from Rodrigo and debutant Brenden Aaronson saw United begin the new season with a win.

Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has praised midfielder Mateusz Klich after his impressive display in the opening day victory against Wolves.

"I think he and I have a good understanding. "I felt strongly that we were going to need him today and I spoke to him before the match about what the role could look like. It's just Klich and I have had some different moments where we've had good discussions and sometimes disagreements on things, but I like him a lot.

Football's unfailing ability to confound expectations shone as brightly as the August sun that bathed Leeds United's 2-1 opening day win over Wolves.

The national press seems to hold a general expectation that the American will either take Leeds down or keep them up by no more than the skin of his teeth. Greenwood found Adams, he found Klich in space and he slid it nicely into the area for Bamford whose pass begged a final touch. On the ball he proved a threat from deep, sending raking long balls in the direction of Bamford's runs. Full-back areas were a concern for the Whites last season and Neto leaving Kristensen for dust put the hosts in a situation from which there was no recovery. Jarred Gillett in Stockley Park did little to change the Elland Road perception of VAR's competency by agreeing with him. Taking the squad on a 10,000 mile journey to Australia forced them out of any comfort zones or cliques and into each others' pockets, with the desired effect quite visible.

Ian Wright says Brenden Aaronson is a player that Leeds United supporters will immediately take to. Aaronson made his first competitive appearance for the ...

“He is so energised, so quick, he is so busy around people. I think he is going to be probably one of those players that Leeds fans really take to very quickly. The 21-year-old produced an impressive performance on his debut for Leeds and played a big part in both goals.

Leeds United claimed their first points of the Premier League season on Saturday as they saw off Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Elland Road.

A dogged performance in the middle as he pushed, hurried and made Wolves work for everything they got. He was strong in possession and combined well with Aaronson down the wing. He struggled to get in the game after the interval, though, looking weary at times as his opposite number Ruben Neves took control. Picking passes at will, the midfielder constantly looked to move Leeds up the field and found plenty of joy in doing so, too. He managed to carry his dogged determination and energy into the second half, winning the ball back on several occasions and attempting to start counter attacks. The best player in a white shirt, of that there is no doubt.

The relief of survival at Elland Road has been replaced by hope of progress in an American revolution. Jesse Marsch made the American his first Leeds signing, getting his compatriot to join six days after they scraped Premier League survival. ‘We dominated the game,’ Lage said, and it was hard to argue. When the crowd is up, Leeds are incredibly difficult to contain and Wolves just could not cope for a few minutes towards the end of an afternoon they will fancy should have presented a different result. But they have ditched certain principles, like the man-for-man element of their defending, and the next few months will offer intrigue as to how this team changes. And when Elland Road is moody, it is dangerous.

All of Chris Sutton, Steve Sidwell and Robbie Savage believe Leeds United will be relegated this season, after narrowly escaping last year.

Conceded too many goals, I’m not so sure that they have really addressed that this season defensively. Sutton then added: “Because Leeds fell away last season. Steve, explain why.”

Former Leeds United midfielder Nohan Kenneh has revealed he spoke to both Liam Cooper and John McGinn ahead of his summer switch to Hibernian.

“But it was the right time to move because I want to test myself. He said: “It was a massive decision to come here. Given the vast amount of injuries Leeds suffered throughout last season, Kenneh made the first team bench on several occasions throughout the campaign.

Al-Ittihad have confirmed the signing of winger Helder Costa from Leeds United but the Whites are yet to confirm it themselves.

It’s yet to be confirmed whether Costa has joined Al-Ittihad permanently or on a loan-to-buy deal, which has been mentioned in the media in Saudi Arabia. Wolves loaned him to Leeds with the view to a £15million permanent deal back when we were still in the Championship and even though he was poor with us in that debut campaign, we had to pay that cash for him. Leeds are yet to announce Costa’s exit from Elland Road but Al-Ittihad have beaten them to the punch to confirm the former Wolves winger’s arrival in Saudi Arabia.

Leeds United have confirmed that Helder Costa has joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad on a season-long loan. The winger, who joined Leeds from Wolves in ...

In a club statement, Leeds United said: "Leeds United winger Helder Costa has today joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad on loan until the end of the season. Costa's loan move will become permanent at the end of the season. The winger joined Leeds on loan in 2019 and, as part of the deal, joined the Whites permanently 12 months later on a four-year contract.

“That's what I take away from the match in general. “I thought even after going down that we responded well in the rest of the half and pushed the game, found the goal and in some ways a little unlucky not to find the second goal in the first half. “We gave up a little bit of a strange goal and we had said that they like to play a lot of chips to the second post.

Brenden Aaronson was the star performer, according to LeedsLive readers.

Kristensen was rated the highest with a score of 6.7 - and the full-back perhaps should have been awarded a penalty after he appeared to be fouled by Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa. Marc Roca - 6.4 Klich, who came on with the scores level, showed calmness on the ball and helped Leeds regain their lead just nine minutes after coming on. Aaronson was cruelly denied his first Leeds goal in the win. It was an impressive debut from the American, who arrived from Red Bull Salzburg this summer to link up again with Jesse Marsch. After the game, we gave LeedsLive readers the chance to rate every Whites player out of 10.

Helder Costa has left Leeds United on a loan deal that will become permanent at the end of the loan.

Capped once for the Portugal national side, Costa initially joined Leeds on a loan-to-buy deal from Wolves in the summer of 2019. Costa’s move to Elland Road was made permanent the following summer on a four-year deal but the attacker made just 13 appearances in the club’s first season back in the Premier League after the arrival of Raphinha. Costa, who joined Leeds for £16m from Wolves, has signed for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad on a season-long loan but the YEP understands that the deal will be made permanent at the end of the loan.

JACK GAUGHAN: Leeds ride the wave of optimism as bundle-of-energy boss Jesse Marsch mirrors the frenzied atmosphere in the Elland Road stands in their 2-1 win ...

‘Leeds brought a few fresh legs on and we got a little bit tired near the end,’ Dendoncker said. Marsch revels in the different ways in which sporting director Victor Orta sells Leeds to prospective signings. Wolves are in transition themselves, ditching the back three that served them so well to a four and club captain Conor Coady is looking like the fall guy of Bruno Lage’s tactical shift. I look forward to that every time to see what kind of twist he has on why they belong here.’ I had a crash course in what that means. The sales of Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips have allowed Marsch to put his own stamp on this squad, with his former Red Bull Salzburg winger Brenden Aaronson taking the plaudits on debut. There is still a lot of work to do but I feel we’re growing.’ ‘Well, there’s the Premier League and then there is Elland Road, right? They are by no means perfect, with an equally reshaped Wolves unfortunate to leave with nothing, but the ripples of a wave appeared. The second goal was a good example of how we want to play. ‘It doesn’t compare to anywhere I’ve played before — this tops everything,’ said the Dane. There is more to do, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Arnaud Kalimuendo next on the list to lighten the returning Patrick Bamford’s load.
