Calvert-Lewin shows the way as Leeds thrash limp Newcastle and rise to third
Leeds United thrashed Newcastle United 4-0 at Elland Road to move up to third in the Premier League table, extending their unbeaten start to the season and strengthening their claim to a European push. The victory was particularly damaging for Newcastle manager Matthias Jassle, who suffered his first defeat since taking charge, with his side outplayed and physically outmuscled throughout by Daniel Farke's rampant hosts.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was the standout performer, scoring and creating chaos in the Newcastle defence, while goals also came from an own goal off Ao Tanaka's effort (credited to Lewis Miley), a Bogle-assisted header, and a late strike from Noah Okafor after a mishandled Ethan Ampadu throw-in. Newcastle's afternoon was further disrupted by a first-half concussion substitution for Nico González, and Leeds now sit with two wins and two draws from their opening four fixtures, occupying a Champions League qualification spot.
- Leeds beat Newcastle 4-0, climbing to third in the Premier League.
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored and starred as Leeds remain unbeaten.
