Adama Traore came close to scoring in the first halfA late strike from Boubacar Traore sent Wolves into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup as they overcame Leeds.
A poor game at Molineux was decided by a fine finish from Traore, who fired into the roof of the net from the edge of the area.
His strike ensures Wolves will still be in the EFL Cup when new manager Julen Lopetegui takes over on Monday.
Leeds came close early on but were kept at bay by impressive Wolves keeper Matija Sarkic.
