and today to you from molyneux here in the english west midlands
i'm derek ray here on the commentary position joined by lee dixon i'm very much looking forward
to bringing you action from the premier league it's wolverhampton wanderers up against leeds
united yeah thanks derek my advice to the players out there is try and get off to a quick start be
accountable for your own performance but above all go out and enjoy yourself should be a great game
well looking at a player who certainly can control the game from the center of midfield joao moutinho
lee what do you think we might see from him well i love watching him he's got quick feet
quick mind he wants you to come close to you so he can get past you so as defenders normally stand
off him and then he's got more time to pick the pass he wants and he normally finds the best one
the initial 11 for wolves and they are a team lee known for their aggressive high pressing
well absolutely that takes a lot of hard work a lot of organization forced the opposition to
make early passes the weakness of it if you beat the high press you can get exposed at the back
and a look at the leads united starting 11. fairly conventional 4-5-1 set up yeah that
back four will be protected throughout the game with the five midfield players in front
of them really important that they do support that lone striker when they do have the ball
and they kick off here
i'm there to intervene
patrick bamford strong but fair tackle it is to be a throw in
not showing good defensive judgment moutinho in possession adama ruben nevis cody
well not quite what he wanted to do with the pass on the offensive
well it was a very good looking move but alas no end product
what can they produce on the flank
plenty of players waiting in the middle accurate ball in towards the near first couldn't grab hold
of it and second time around he scores but the keeper left to wonder what his defenders were
doing well here's a replay i never liked rebound goals off goalkeepers the defenders should be
there probably would have been my fault on that occasion his defenders went missing
so the action continues and what to do for wolves and see if that girl has shaken them up
natto well that's one for them to pursue
the cross played over and what to do defensively
rafinha
and they are on the move again
rodrigo and now it's phillips alioski
well they keep working away looking for passing lanes
look just though they meant business but now they've got to try again
good physical play
possession for leeds has not been great but to their credit they've been absolutely blistering
on the counter attack they just sit back hit you on the break and it's really working for this team
and he read it superbly
for dance clear foul play and as a result a free kick forthcoming
harrison how could he take them on and beat them
a chance to whip it in
calvin phillips
precise ball movement
phillips matteos cliche
rodrigo is it going to be and the goal is is they lead by two now fully deserved
and here it is again it's a great team passing move to set up the chance and when he gets through
to the keeper he just smashes it past him and gives him no chance to think a lovely finish
so two nail now goal for leeds united number nine patrick banford
well the electronic board's showing one additional minute
this attack looks highly promising and a strong tackle so the whistle then
we're at the halfway stage in this match
well truth be told he's only had a very limited influence on the game what have you made of his
performance late well derek he'll probably blame the supply line and he might have a case to be
fair but you've got to make your own chances as well the space is available he's just not been in
the two teams have switched around and are ready now for the second half
phillips
jack harrison has it
calvin phillips liam cooper with it ailing stuart dallas
and rodrigo has it rafinha that needs an accurate cross well he's been forced out of play this time
roma seis
ruben nevis the ball with podense effective looking pass
it is to be a throw in
patrick bamford jack harrison has it
is it going to end up being productive for them wonderful tackle
great strong tackle throw in forthcoming substitution time as is here
ryan ait nuri and 30 minutes left for play in this match
pedro nato
moutinho oh good defending to stop a decent looking attack
can he get one back and not cleared away properly
and moutinho with it well time just challenged magnificently well there's
been a change here for sure the crowd sends a goal will the pressure count oh lovely ball
play towards the back post i'm mopping up defensively
moutinho well the conditions look pretty good for the counter attack
and failed to keep himself on side
unfortunately
pablo hernandez not showing good defensive judgments
well the referee wasn't going to let that go
15 minutes remaining racing forward trying to catch them out can they keep it going
no nonsense clearance harrison
firing us in and he's outdone himself wonderful save there
he's driven in the corner and an effective clearance
dallas and that is offside time for a change then
natto
now jen jonker
could put one back here
they've got it now what can they do
it has to be well really fine goalkeeping good diving stop
corner kick played in
something to worry about here the corner kicks keep on coming played into the center
of the box cuts it back good defending to prevent the chance and a poor ball
silva
another successful intervention running the ball back so the whistle for full time
and the leads fans are the ones who go home happy on the back of this victory league yeah their
two-goal advantage in the end was just reward for their good play today for me worthy winners
on a strong individual statement from rodrigo you've got to say lee interested to know what
you made of him well that was a really really good performance from the lad and a goal to boot
really delighted with that goal i'm sure he is you
