LONDON, Oct 20 (AFP): Wolverhampton climbed to sixth place in the Premier League on Monday as Raul Jimenez sealed a 1-0 win at Leeds United on a night West Bromwich Albion and Burnley played out the first goalless draw in the English top-flight this season.
Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves clinched their third league win of the campaign when Jimenez's second half strike deflected in off Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
The Mexico striker's third goal of the season made it back to back wins for Wolves after they beat Fulham before the international break.
Leeds have now gone two games without a win as they were beaten for the first time in the league since their narrow opening weekend defeat at champions Liverpool.
Bielsa's team dominated the first period, pinning Wolves in their own half, but had nothing to show for their dominance as the visitors' defence held firm.
Leeds striker Patrick Bamford's early header was ruled out for offside and the hosts had a penalty appeal turned down after Helder Costa went down under Joao Moutinho's challenge.
