Molineux was left stunned and simmering with discontent as Leeds United delivered a masterclass to thrash Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 on their own turf. The humiliating defeat was compounded by what fans are calling a 'baffling' and 'inexplicable' decision from the club's hierarchy.
Just days before the match, under-fire manager Vitor Pereira was handed a surprising new contract, a move that has left supporters scratching their heads in sheer disbelief after witnessing their team's abject performance.
Leeds Run Riot at Molineux
From the first whistle, the visitors were in formidable form, utterly dominating the midfield and exposing a fragile Wolves defence. Leeds' attacking trio were afforded acres of space, slicing through the home side's lines with pace and precision.
The deadlock was broken early, setting the tone for a one-sided affair. A second goal before half-time effectively killed the game as a contest, leaving the home fans in a state of stunned silence.
A 'Baffling' New Deal for Pereira
The major talking point, however, wasn't just the result on the pitch, but the shocking news from the boardroom. In a move that has defied all logic for the Molineux faithful, manager Vitor Pereira was awarded a new contract prior to this dismal showing.
This decision has been met with widespread fury and confusion. With performances languishing and the team hovering dangerously above the drop zone, fans and pundits are united in their criticism, labelling the timing and the act itself as utterly tone-deaf.
Fan Fury and Pundit Perplexity
The atmosphere turned toxic as the goals flew in, with audible boos echoing around the stadium at both half-time and the final whistle. The anger wasn't solely directed at the players but squarely at a board that seems hopelessly out of touch.
Post-match analysis was scathing, with experts questioning the rationale behind securing a manager who appears to be steering the club towards a relegation battle. The phrase 'baffling' was used repeatedly to describe the new deal, casting a long shadow over the club's future.
This heavy defeat, coupled with the bizarre contractual situation, leaves Wolves in a state of deep crisis. The fans demand answers, and the pressure on Vitor Pereira and the board has reached a boiling point.
