Leeds thrash Newcastle to go third in the Premier League
The 4-1 win takes Daniel Farke's side to eight points from their opening four games, behind only defending champions Arsenal and Manchester City.
Leeds United secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Newcastle United at Elland Road, propelling the Yorkshire outfit to third place in the Premier League standings. The win marked the Magpies' first defeat under new manager Matthias Jaissle since taking charge. Lewis Miley's own goal set the tone for the rout, followed by goals from Jayden Bogle, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Noah Okafor.
Despite Newcastle's efforts, including early substitute Nico Gonzalez, they could not match Leeds' experience and strength. The win extended Leeds' unbeaten streak at Elland Road to five games. Newcastle, now owned by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, had made significant signing moves in the off-season but were outmaneuvered by Leeds' more seasoned lineup.
The victory pushes Leeds to eight points from their first four matches, trailing only Arsenal and Manchester City. Newcastle, on the other hand, drops to 12th position due to a poor goal difference.
