Leeds United director of football Victor Orta was in jubilant mood after Luke Ayling had scored the winner for the Whites at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Jesse Marsch's side had to come from behind to snatch a last-gasp 3-2 victory in the West Midlands.
It proved to be a tough first-half for Leeds, who had to make three early substitutions due to injury. Patrick Bamford and Diego Llorente were forced to come off with an ankle and back issue respectively, while Mateusz Klich hobbled off following a blow to the head when he and teammate Robin Koch went for the same ball.
These problems completely affected Leeds' momentum and Wolves would end up going into half-time with a two-goal cushion thanks to Jonny and Francisco Trincao's strikes. However, the game changed in the 53rd minute when Raul Jimenez was shown a second yellow card for a late tackle on Illan Meslier.

The Whites made the man advantage count when they scored two quick-fire goals as Jack Harrison slotted the ball into the bottom corner, before Rodrigo's effort found the back of the net via a deflection. And Leeds completed the comeback when Ayling found some space inside the box and he rifled the ball beyond Jose Sa in stoppage time to spark wild scenes in the lower tier of the Steve Bull stand.
It was a win of huge significance towards the bottom of the Premier League, with Marsch's side now seven points clear of the relegation zone. Following the third goal, Orta was spotted going crazy after his team had seemingly grabbed an unlikely victory.
On Twitter, @archielufc8 captured a video of Orta hugging some other Leeds board members with the Spanish appearing to shout "yes" despite being surrounded by Wolves fans.
The Whites will now have a two-week break before they host Southampton in their next encounter on Saturday, April 2. This time period will give Marsch a chance to give his players a rest as they try to recover for the final stretch of the campaign.
Although Everton, Burnley and Watford have all got matches in hand, Leeds will fancy themselves to pick up enough points to stay in the top-flight given their fixture run between now and the end of the season. The Whites face just three of the top-half in their final eight games.
