Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Leeds United: Illan Meslier's own goal gives hosts victory

Illan Meslier's unfortunate own goal following Adama Traore's sensational strike gave Wolverhampton Wanderers victory against Leeds in an entertaining Premier League encounter.

There was little to separate the sides before Traore hit a thunderous effort from distance just after the hour and the ball hit the crossbar before rebounding off the back of Meslier's head into the Leeds goal.

The visitors had gone close to scoring themselves just moments earlier when Rui Patricio denied Liam Cooper's header from point-blank range before the follow-up by Patrick Bamford was scrambled clear.

Bamford also thought he had snatched an equaliser late on as he powered through on goal before finishing brilliantly but he was flagged just offside, before ex-Wolves winger Helder Costa spurned a glorious chance in the final minute but shot straight at Patricio.
