Wolverhampton Wanderers slipped closer to Premier League relegation after a 3-0 defeat to Leeds United at Elland Road. Bournemouth extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches with a 2-1 victory at Newcastle United. Wolves could be relegated this weekend depending on other results.
Leeds United warmed up for their FA Cup semi-final with a convincing 3-0 win over Wolves. James Justin opened the scoring with an overhead kick from a corner, followed 86 seconds later by Noah Okafor sweeping in at the far post. Dominic Calvert-Lewin sealed the victory from the penalty spot in the 10 minutes of added time after Hugo Bueno fouled him in the box. Karl Darlow made a key save on Ladislav Krejci's header for Wolves, but they could not find a way back, marking Leeds' first back-to-back wins of the season and extending their cushion over Tottenham to nine points with five games left. Wolves now face the prospect of relegation this weekend if other results go against them. In the day's other notable result, Bournemouth triumphed 2-1 at Newcastle despite the hosts equalizing through William Osula, assisted by substitute Bruno Guimaraes. Marcus Tavernier put the visitors ahead from Rayan Aït-Nouri's low cross, and Adrien Truffert scored the winner by slamming in Evanilson's headed knockdown. The win continues Bournemouth's impressive form under departing manager Andoni Iraola, who leaves at season's end, while increasing pressure on Newcastle's Eddie Howe after leaving out signings Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa.
