Boss Marcelo Bielsa refused to blame bad luck after Illan Meslier’s own goal condemned Leeds to a 1-0 defeat at Wolves.
The goalkeeper unwittingly turned in Adama Traore’s shot after it came back off the bar in the second half.
Wolves climbed above Leeds into 11th in the Premier League as the visitors suffered a third defeat in four games.
Bielsa said: “Luck is not a factor in the result. It’s clear the result was defined by their efficiency. Luck and what you deserve is not always the same.
“We are doing OK but the standards and expectations are high and that requires more responsibility from all of us.
“I’m very pleased, especially with the attitude we approached it with. It’s very difficult to play against Leeds, you can go the same way and chase duels and press, but the boys did very well.
“There’s luck with the goal but the strike of Adama is fantastic. It was almost unstoppable and I think we deserve that luck.
“Leeds created enormous problems. They challenged in every moment and our keeper did well but Meslier did well too.”
