Leeds matchwinner Luke Ayling: It's some buzz you know!

Leeds matchwinner Luke Ayling was delighted leaving Wolves with the three points.

Ayling admitted that Raul Jiminez's sending off changed the game as Leeds United completed a memorable comeback at Molineux. The Whites came from 2-0 down to secure a vital three points in the fight against relegation to move seven points clear of the drop zone.

He said, "It's some buzz you know! We come in 2-0 down with a sloppy goal at the end of the half, but we come out second half and showed a bit of character. The man getting sent off is a massive game changer and it's a massive three points.

"We got in some great positions in the first half and maybe taken a goal before they got their first, but that sums up our season. We created a few chances then they counter and score. I don't know I was on the other side. It seemed like our goalie got there first but they're both running at pace. If it goes against us it's probably harsh, but we'll take it."

The red card gave Leeds a new found impetus but had to wait until late on injury time for Ayling to break the deadlock.

He added: "As soon as the red card happened it gave us a boost, we got the first and then the second. After the second we went a bit flat and went long too quickly, but then obviously got the third in the end.

"I just got my head over it and smashed it as hard as I could! I tried to do the Robbie Keane celebration but didn't land the cartwheel so I'll have to work on that!"
