The game was billed by Wolves as a "Christmas Cracker" and the boys in gold and black put in a performance warranting the pre match advertising. Wolves played what Glenn Hoddle described after the game as "silky football" and dominated throughout, despite scoring just one goal.

"We knew we'd have to work hard today and I was pleased with our balance. We played some silky football at times and defended when we needed to." Said Hoddle.

In recent weeks Wolves have dominated games but failed to win the three points and today it seemed like it was going the same way.

Leeds 'keeper Sullivan pulled off a marvellous save in the first few minutes before Stefan Postma was called upon to deny Sean Derry at the other end. However Wolves replied well and Tom Huddlestone lashed the ball against the bar, his rebound fell to Ganea who's powerful effort was tipped onto the bar by the former Scottish International in between Uniteds sicks.

However Sullivan was beaten several minutes later. A cross from the left was rebounded into the path of Ganea who side-footed the ball home from close range.

"Stefan Postma made a great save and then we went up the other end and hit the bar twice. I thought it was going to be one of those days again but that wasn't the case." Hoddle added.

The second half wasn't full of chances with the key moment being the sending off of Leeds full back Walton eight minutes from time. He was sent off for a second bookable offence after he prevented Kenny Miller from racing past him with the ball.

"We need to back today's performance up with a win against Reading. If we can do that, it will make people sit up and take notice." The Manager said.
