Wolves boss Vitor Pereira insisted he is in no way concerned over his job security despite their losing start to the Premier League season continuing against Leeds United.

Pereira's team slipped to their fifth straight defeat on Saturday, going down 3-1 at Molineux to remain rooted to the foot of the table with no points to their name.

It is Wolves' worst ever start to a league campaign, while they are the sixth team in Premier League history to open a season with five straight defeats.

However, Pereira only signed a new three-year deal earlier this week, and he is sure he can change Wolves' fortunes.

"I am not worried about my future. I am worried about the results. Of course, I am confident I can turn it around," Pereira said.

"The first half, we were not aggressive under pressure, especially the defenders. [Leeds] played with a lot of space. We were not applying pressure in the way we need to do it. We are trying to correct the mistakes, but they happen again.

"The second half was different. We didn't concede anything to them. We were not at the best level of defending in the first half. We created some chances to score in the second half, but it's not easy because they defended with a low block."

Jorgen Strand Larsen, who returned from injury as a half-time substitute, insisted the blame for Wolves' poor start lies firmly at the feet of himself and his team-mates, to whom he issued a rallying cry.

"I think we are in a really tough spot right now," he added. "I am really disappointed in all of us. Nobody wants to be in this situation, but nobody else can complain about it, only ourselves. We were 1-0 up and cannot give the goals away we did today.

"It kills us. It's about the mentality of the players, and we need to do better. Hopefully, we can do it because this league is too tough to be playing like this. 

"We need to change our mentality now, it's going to be a long season. I believe in us, I believe in the manager. What we have is something special, which we showed last season. We have the quality and just need to focus on the small details."

Leeds won a Premier League away game after conceding the opening goal for the first time in eight attempts, while recording their fourth straight win over Wolves in the competition.

Daniel Farke's side also quadrupled their goal tally for the campaign, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor both opening their accounts for the club.

"We were more effective in both boxes, and scored three goals," Farke said. "I am pretty happy and delighted to have three precious points. What I liked is, at 1-0 down, we stuck to our plans and our processes.

"We created many chances and shots in previous games, but didn't have the cutting edge. It was a focus in training this week, but sometimes, you just need an opener, and it's a bit like a bottle of ketchup! I am pleased for the offensive players. Confidence is very important.

"We dropped deeper in the second half and I would have preferred more possession, but it was an important win for us."

Calvert-Lewin also saluted the determination of the visitors, as they came from behind to lead a Premier League game at half-time by two or more goals for the first time since March 2000 (against Wimbledon).

"It's a massive win. We knew what we were capable of going into the game," he said. "I think going 1-0 down, we showed great character to turn it around, and then we had the confidence to play. The rest took care of itself.

"Strikers feed off goals. It gives you confidence. It's nice to get my first one for the club, and I'll look to build on it."
