Leeds secured a crucial 3-0 victory over Wolves, moving nine points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. James Justin and Noak Okafor scored two goals within two minutes in the first half, putting Leeds in firm control at Elland Road. Dominic Calvert-Lewin added a third in stoppage time with a penalty, sealing the win. The result leaves Wolves rooted to the bottom of the table with just three wins from 33 matches, facing near-certain relegation if Tottenham avoid defeat against Brighton. Leeds, buoyed by their recent 1-0 win at Manchester United, are now on the verge of securing top-flight survival. They also remain in contention for a deep FA Cup run, with a semi-final clash against Chelsea upcoming. Meanwhile, Bournemouth defeated Newcastle 2-1 at St. James' Park, with goals from Marcus Tavernier and Adrien Truffert. The win extends Bournemouth's unbeaten league run to 13 matches and lifts them to eighth, just four points off a Champions League spot. Newcastle remain in 14th, their European hopes fading despite last season's domestic cup triumph. Brentford failed to capitalize on top-six opportunities, drawing 0-0 with Fulham in a west London derby.
Leeds' survival push has been built on beating struggling sides, not the form teams around them. Their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea now carries more weight than their league position suggests. No Nigerian or African players featured in the key matches.
