Maximilian Wober acknowledged the relief around West Yorkshire after Leeds United ground out a vital Premier League win. A colossal three points at Molineux lifted the Whites above the relegation zone, their second victory in 14 attempts.
It would not be Leeds without having to face some adversary and, with 17 minutes to go, the game looked ominous. Despite winning 3-0 at one stage, Wolves had just pulled two quick-fire goals back and momentum was in their favour.
But a red card for Jonny helped calm the nerves and Rodrigo ultimately put the bed with a fourth in stoppage time. Jubilant Leeds supporters travelled home celebrating their first win on the road since October.

Three vital points eases the pressure around Elland Road ahead of the international break. Speaking to LUTV post-match, January arrival Wober urged his teammates to “keep on” fighting for survival.
“I think the whole city of Leeds is really relieved right now,” the Austrian said. “It was a tough fight. After the 3-0, everybody thought ‘ok this is going to be secured now’. After (it went) 3-2, everybody was panicking inside but we got the three points and that is all that matters.
“It is the first time we’ve scored three for a long time and had such a lead. Everything was going well, we defended well and then, you know how it is in football, once you breathe a little bit of air, they really put us under pressure. I am just so happy to get the three points.
“We made it and we are happy about it - that’s all I can say right now. It’s crazy (relegation battle). We just looked at the table and we’re 14th. It’s so close. Every game can switch up everything. We know this was a big result for us but it’s not over and we have to keep on fighting.”
