I'm taking credit for it," Aaronson said with a smile. "The second goal was in some ways a little against the run of play but we were gathering momentum. "I think all the debutants did quite well. "[Aaronson] is relentless.

The lead was so nearly extended shortly after, with the Whites refusing to just accept and rest on their advantage. Tyler Adams was involved all over the pitch, showing energy and desire to win the ball back and then start attacks when he had succeeded in doing so. However, goals from Rodrigo and debutant Brenden Aaronson saw United begin the new season with a win.

Aaronson was one of Leeds' star performers in the win over Wolves.

He doesn't play like a winger that hugs the touchline, he comes into pockets. He can go on the outside or come in on the inside. "He gets into little pockets.

Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has praised midfielder Mateusz Klich after his impressive display in the opening day victory against Wolves.

Football's unfailing ability to confound expectations shone as brightly as the August sun that bathed Leeds United's 2-1 opening day win over Wolves.

Greenwood found Adams, he found Klich in space and he slid it nicely into the area for Bamford whose pass begged a final touch. On the ball he proved a threat from deep, sending raking long balls in the direction of Bamford's runs. Full-back areas were a concern for the Whites last season and Neto leaving Kristensen for dust put the hosts in a situation from which there was no recovery. Jarred Gillett in Stockley Park did little to change the Elland Road perception of VAR's competency by agreeing with him.
