Report and pictures of Leeds 1 Wolves 2

A stirring second-half display saw Wolves make it back-to-back wins for the first time since August and landed Leeds United manager Darko Milanic the sack.

Milanic was dismissed after just 32 days in charge, beating Brian Clough's famous 44 days in the Leeds hot-seat. Neil Redfearn will take charge again on Monday.

It came after half-time substitute Leon Clarke was the Wolves match-winner in the 85th minute with his first goal of the season.

Man of the Match James Henry had cancelled out Mirco Antenucci's 19th-minute opener to build on Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Middlesbrough.

Wolves were lacklustre and lacking any sort of tempo or penetration for the first half.

But they produced a superb performance after the break to take the game to the home side and earn their second away win of the season after Fulham on August 20 and make it six away trips unbeaten.

Dominating possession and led by the force of Henry, they forced chances for Nouha Dicko – who was denied by a brilliant save by Marco Silvestri – and sub Rajiv Van La Parra sandwiching the equaliser.

Jackett made one change from the line-up that beat Middlesbrough 2-0 on Tuesday night but it was a costly one with Bakary Sako missing out with the groin strain that forced him off in that game.

Michael Jacobs replaced the seven-goal top scorer for only his second league start of the season.

Wolves got off to a slow start with Leeds first to press and the Whites deservedly led at half-time.

And it was the Wolves left-hand side that was targeted again for the first chance in the 14th minute.

A long ball caught the visitors out and released burly forward Steve Morison – who was signed by Jackett for Millwall in 2009 – and the 31-year-old forced Carl Ikeme into a diving save to his right.

The rebound fell to Alex Mowatt, whose shot had plenty of power but flew into the sidenetting, with some fans in the giant East Stand thinking it had gone in.

But Leeds fans didn't have long to wait to cheer a goal as the home side took the lead five minutes later.

Again it started from Wolves' left side, with Morison taking on Tommy Rowe before squaring to Antenucci on the edge of the area.

The Italian still had plenty to do but Wolves seemed to stand off him a fraction too long before he beat Ikeme with a low shot that crept in the far corner off the net off the post.

With Dicko looking far too isolated in the Wolves attack and neither Henry or the under-used Jacobs unable to provide the right support, Leeds remained on top.

And the hosts should have doubled their lead in the 25th minute, when Wolves' left side was targeted again.

Morison got to the byeline this time and cut it back to Mowatt, who had the whole goal to aim at but fortunately for Jackett's side, fired straight at Ikeme, who smothered it on the line.

With Wolves struggling to impose themselves on the game, their first on-target effort didn't arrive until the 37th minute.

Jacobs's first-time low shot was easily gathered by Silvestri after Dave Edwards helped on Henry's left-wing cross.

Jacobs was responsible for Wolves' next effort, a 30-yard free kick in the 44th minute after Rowe had been fouled by Giuseppe Bellusci but his curling effort sailed a few inches over the angle of post and bar.

In the second of the two minutes of time added on before half-time, Henry tested Silvestri with a low drive from 25 yards which the keeper just kept in play at the second attempt.

Wolves brought on Clarke at half-time for Edwards in a bid to shake things up.

And the visitors certainly kept Leeds in check from the restart, bossing possession without being able to test Silvestri until the hour.

That was when Dicko's flying header had the keeper at full stretch to tip wide from Jacobs's curling free kick.

There were changes to both sides in the 64th minute when former Wolves target Luke Murphy replaced Mowatt and van La Parra came on for Jacobs.

And Wolves gained their reward for their possession following the restart with an equaliser two minutes later.

Matt Doherty crossed from the right and it seemed to be coming to nothing until Giuseppe Bellusci stuck out a leg and inadvertedly diverted it into the path of Henry, who belted the ball home from close range.

Wolves continued to control possession and van La Parra somehow failed to find the net at the far post, instead kneeing it wide from Henry's cross on 74 minutes.

But Jackett's side weren't finished and they scored a second goal when Clarke tapped home at the far post to send the 2,000-plus Wolves fans wild.

Jackett made his final substitution on 87 as he sought to protect their lead as Richard Stearman came on for Dicko to shore up the defence at a corner.

And unlike at Millwall a week ago, he was allowed to get into position before the set-piece was taken as a succession of blocks met frantic Leeds shots.

Wolves weathered the late storm with relative ease to take the points.
