Calvert-Lewin decisive for Leeds in 4-1 win over dismal Newcastle
A comprehensive 4-1 victory for Leeds over Newcastle propelled the home team into third place in the Premier League on Monday. Three goals in the first 13 minutes set the stage for Leeds' dominant performance, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring two of them.
Calvert-Lewin's commanding presence was evident early on as Tanaka's deflected shot put Leeds ahead after just 32 minutes. The big striker continued his impressive form against Newcastle, netting his third goal of the season from a well-placed poke after 59 minutes.
However, Newcastle's defense proved woeful, with another weak clearance allowing fourth-time hero Calvert-Lewin to seal the win. The only positive for the visitors came in the final minute when substitute Bazoumana Touré scored a consolation goal.
