Leeds United Under-21s secured a well-deserved 2-0 victory over Newcastle United Under-21s in the Premier League 2 match held at the LNER Community Stadium. Josh McDonald put Leeds ahead in the 18th minute, and Freddie Lane sealed the win just over ten minutes from time.
The hosts started with some neat link-up play down the left flank, leading to a low cross into the box by Louie Philpott. The ball deflected into Rhys Chadwick, but his first-time strike struck the post. Leeds maintained their pressure, and McDonald opened the scoring in the 18th minute. Freddie Lane eventually capitalized on a Leeds counterattack, finishing from the edge of the area with a well-deflected goal 10 minutes from full time.
