With Leeds cruising, goalkeeper Illan Meslier flew off his goal line to clear a dangerous ball forward with his head outside the area, and it looked like the crisis was averted.

However, when the ball was carelessly knocked across the pitch by Marc Roca, Jonny spotted an unlikely opportunity and went for it.

Smashing the ball first time on the volley, the Spanish left back saw his shot fly over Meslier and into the back of the net from miles out.

"What. A. Goal from Jonny Otto," said talkSPORT's Adam Bridge. "Jonny on the volley, 40? 45 yards out? Over the top of the keeper, what a goal!"

Rasmus Kristensen then made it 3-0 on 62 minutes, before Jonny's wondergoal shortly after gave Wolves some hope of turning the game around.
