Former Leeds defender Jon Newsome, speaking on BBC Radio Leeds, hailed the goal as deserved, highlighting the visitors' dominance throughout the first half. "Jayden Bogle played a great pass to Dan James, it was a wonderful exchange," he commented. "The ball then ricocheted to Adams, who slotted it home with his left foot. It was a good strike, and I think it was a deserved goal for Leeds."
Newsome highlighted Leeds' ability to break through Wednesday's high press as a key factor in their success. "If you can play through the press - which they've just done again, playing the ball out to Junior Firpo - you can do well," he explained.
