It kills us’ – Wolves star slams teammates for first-half collapse in Leeds United defeat
All five of Leeds United’s Premier League games have now ended in defeat.
Following Wolves’ 3-1 loss against Leeds United on Saturday, Jorgen Strand Larsen maintains that Wolves are solely to fault.
Leeds scored three goals in 14 first-half minutes to negate Ladislav Krejci’s opening goal, overcoming an early goal deficit to win easily at Molineux. Noah Okafor, Anton Stach, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all scored goals for the Whites, who gained confidence as their opponents retreated.
The home fans was especially irritated with Okafor’s goal to make it 3-1, as Stach stopped a stray Emmanuel Agbadou ball before letting his teammate score. Inside Molineux, there were raucous jeers in response to that attempt and the subsequent halftime whistle.
Even though Strand Larsen, who is 6′ 4″, joined 6′ 6″ Tolu Arokodare up front at halftime, Leeds managed to easily defend their two-goal lead. In the immediate aftermath of the loss, the former was particularly scathing of his team’s first-half collapse.
“It’s awful. It’s that easy,” Strand Larsen said. We seem to be in a very difficult situation at the moment, and I’m very disappointed in all of us. Nobody likes to find themselves in this predicament, but we have no one else to blame or anything else to be unhappy about but ourselves.
We couldn’t give up the goals we let up, especially the three in the first half, because we were up 1-0 and everything was going great today. Both we and others who wish to enter the game are killed by it.
