Leeds manager Bielsa: Rodrigo and Gelhardt did enough to beat Wolves

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa was happy with their fight-back for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Wolves.

Rodrigo's stoppage time penalty levelled the game after superb work from Joe Gelhardt to win the spot-kick.

Speaking after the full-time whistle, Bielsa shared his thoughts on the match.

He said: “Apart from the initial minutes in both halves, we could control the game.

“We created not too dangerous and not too many, but a sufficient amount of chances to be able to win the game.

“In the initial minutes of the 30 minutes that Gelhardt played, he had very few contacts with the ball.

“But in the final 15 minutes he got the penalty and he had the options to score maybe one or two goals.

“I have the impression him alongside Rodrigo in the second half, created enough chances to have won the game.

“Last week looked like a performance without shine, this week was a lot more of what we are capable of."
