Leeds crushes Newcastle, Betis fairy tale continues in Spain, Roma and Inter stay tied atop Serie A

Leeds secured a dominant 4-1 victory over struggling Newcastle in a Premier League match, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin playing a pivotal role in the team's triumph. The English striker scored twice within a 13-minute period before halftime, showcasing his lethal finishing ability. Calvert-Lewin's first goal came as a result of a deflected shot in the 32nd minute, while his second goal arrived in the 48th minute, having squirmed past the keeper after maneuvering his shot under pressure from defenders.

Unfortunately for Leeds, the Newcastle defense was abysmal, leading to a fourth goal just before halftime. Noah Okafor's weak clearance allowed the ball to slip through his legs and into the back of the net, resulting in a goal that highlighted the team's defensive shortcomings. Despite Newcastle managing to score a consolation goal in the final minute courtesy of Bazoumana Touré, Leeds' commanding performance ensured they moved up to third place in the league table.
