SOME FIRST-HALF heroics from young 'keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell failed to prevent Leeds United from falling to a 3-0 defeat against Championship leaders Wolves at Elland Road.

After going desperately close three times in the space of five minutes, Romain Saiss headed home a 28th-minute corner before Willy Boly finished in similar fashion on the stroke of half-time, latching on to the rebound after Danny Batth's header had cannoned back off the crossbar.

A dominant and classy Wolves then bagged their third with 16 minutes left when Benik Afobe chipped Peacock-Farrell from 30 yards out to leave United nine points off the play-offs with ten games left.

After some early pressure from Leeds who twice threatened through Pontus Jansson Wolves went desperately close three times inside five minutes with Peacock-Farell first producing an excellent save to tip a stinging shot from Ivan Cavaleiro just wide.

Two minutes later, Jota then had the goal at his mercy six yards out and central following a cross from Barry Douglas but Jota failed to make any connection and the chance was gone.

Bonatini was then picked out by a free-kick from Doherty but tried to finish with his thigh and sent the ball flying over the bar.

But the Wolves pressure was beginning to become relentless and the visitors made the breakthrough in the 28th minute when Romain Saiss clinically headed home a Douglas corner, giving Peacock-Farrell no chance in goal.
