Wolves slipped ever closer to relegation from the Premier League as Leeds eased to a 3-0 win at Elland Road.
Two goals in two minutes ended any hopes of a Wolves win on the road as Leeds warmed up for their FA Cup semi-final next weekend in style.
At the other end of the table Bournemouth’s brilliant run continued with a superb 2-1 win at Newcastle which ramps up the pressure on Eddie Howe.
Wolvers could be relegated from the Premier League this weekend depending on results elsewhere.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin had twice gone close before James Justin put Leeds ahead with a brilliant overhead kick after a corner was not dealt with.
And it was 2-0 just 86 seconds later as in-form Noah Okafor swept home at the far post with Wolves’ defence nowhere to be seen.
Karl Darlow produced a sensational save in the second half to keep out a header from ladislav Krejci as Wolves improved.
Rodrigo Gomes poked a good chance wide and Adam Armstrong chipped in a wonderful finish – but the former Southampton man was offside.
There were 10 minutes added on after an injury to the assistant referee and Leeds won a penalty when Calvert-Lewin was barged over by Hugo Bueno.
The England man stepped up and scored in style to make it 3-0.
It is the first time Leeds have won back-to-back games all season and with a nine-point cushion to Tottenham with five matches remaining they look well placed for another season in the top flight.
Bournemouth shock Newcastle
The Cherries announced this week that in-demand boss Andoni Iraola is leaving at the end of the season – and he could yet guide them to Europe.
Their run stretches to 13 games without defeat after they scored in each half to stun former manager Howe.
Harvey Barnes pulled a shot wide early on for the hosts, who started with William Osula in attack as Howe left big-money signings Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa out.
The visitors were growing into the game and took the lead when winger Rayan burst into the area and put in a lovely low cross which was turned in by Marcus Tavernier.
Evanilson slid a fine chance wide from close range as the home fans grew more and more frustrated – but Osula then drew them level in the second half.
Bruno Guimaraes came off the bench after a spell out injured and started the move that played Osula in behind the Cherries defence to run on and slide home.
Newcastle tails were up but Bournemouth rallied again. A clever cross from the left was headed down by Evanilson and Adrien Truffert was free to slam in his first goal for the club.
