Leeds United picked up their first win of the Premier League season, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Elland Road. 

Rodrigo Moreno's first half strike and a Rayan Ait Nouri own goal cancelled out an early opener from Daniel Podence. 

After an entertaining game, here are four things we learned.

After joining Leeds for a club record fee, pressure was placed on Brenden Aaronson to perform. The 21-year-old certainly delivered a debut to remember, even playing a part in The Whites' winning goal.

In the first half, Aaronson had the better of Ait Nouri, beating the Frenchman multiple times and enjoying freedom down the right hand side.  Taking advantage of Ait Nouri's attacking tendencies, Aaronson made runs into the vacant space and often dragged Max Kilman out of position. 

The American thought he had scored the winning goal, only for the dubious goals panel to award Ait Nouri with an own goal. Patrick Bamford's ball across the 6-yard box was diverted into the Wolves net, with Aaronson arriving late into the box. 

With the recent departure of Raphinha, Leeds supporters will be delighted that his replacement has hit the ground running,

With just four league wins at home in 2021/22, Leeds will be searching for improvements this season. Elland Road was at its best on Saturday, with supporters creating a hostile atmosphere for the visiting side.

With fans urging their team on, Jesse Marsch's side put Wolves under pressure and forced errors high up the pitch. Jose Sa almost gifted Leeds a goal before half time, buckling under the pressure from Bamford. 

A series of first half set pieces won by Leeds put Wolves on the back foot, livening an already atmospheric crowd.

Full time celebrations summed up the importance of the home crowd, with fans and staff alike desperate to thank the fans for their support. If Leeds are to avoid a repeat of last season's relegation battle, Elland Road will need to become a fortress for Marsch's men. 

  • Wolves need time to adjust to a new system

The stale five-man defence has been ditched by Bruno Lage, adopting a more fast-paced 4-2-3-1 system. Although Wolves did look promising when in attack, they will need to iron out their defensive frailties before the visit of Fulham next weekend. 

Both  Max Kilman and Nathan Collins were often left vulnerable by the new attacking approach, with one straight pass sometimes cutting through the Wolves press. 

When the press did work, Wolves were able to put Leeds under pressure for significant periods of time. Lage's men failed to capitalise on the chances they created, the most notable being stopped by a fantastic last man challenge from new Leeds full back Rasmus Kristensen, denying Ait Nouri a chance at goal. 

Lage will be concerned with the ease that the hosts were able to cut through Wolves, as well as the failure to take their chances.

  • Squad depth is a serious issue for Wolves

It is an issue that has been evident for a while, but Wolves' squad depth reached a new low on Saturday. Trailing 2-1 with 15 minutes to go, Lage struggled to find any answers from his bench.

Instead, the Portuguese boss waited until the 85th minute to make his only change of the game. 19-year-old Chem Campbell made only his second Premier League appearance, deputising as a make shift striker in place of Hwang Hee Chan. 

The South Korean was drafted into the side after Joao Moutinho missed out with injury sustained in the build up to the match. Injuries have left Lage with no fit strikers and only two senior central midfielders. 

With the imminent arrival of Goncalo Guedes from Valencia according to the BBC, gaps are starting to be filled, although there is still a long way to go before all issues are sorted.
