Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Kenny Jackett: "We need to be better defensively"

Kenny Jackett has conceded that his Wolverhampton Wanderers side did not defend well enough during their 3-2 defeat at the hands of Leeds United this evening.

The hosts took the lead through Benik Afobe, but a brace from Sam Byram and another goal courtesy of Stuart Dallas did the damage for the away side.

Speaking to the Express & Star after the final whistle, Jackett said: "When Leeds got on top of us, it was too easy for them. We need to be better defensively.

"The middle part of the game was disappointing. They got a goal back and then in particular the start of the second period Leeds outpowered us, had too much strength, too much aggression for us.

"They just had a bit too much power. It wasn't that we weren't trying. Defending as a side was tough. We gave poor goals away."

The loss has left Wolves 17th in the Championship, seven points above the drop zone.
