Leeds 4-1 Newcastle: another statement win for Leeds

Leeds United kept rolling after confirming—this Monday—that they are proving a real surprise in the Premier League start. The team beat Newcastle 4-1 in a match that quickly turned into a rout, helped by a devastating stretch of goals.

Own goal sets the tone

At 32’, Lewis Miley scored an own goal to make it 1-0 for Leeds. Just two minutes later, Jayden Bogle doubled the lead to 2-0. Before half-time, Calvert-Lewin—a former Everton player—left the tie practically settled with the 3-0, as Mundo Deportivo reports.

Okafor seals it

In the second half, Newcastle had very little to work with. Leeds managed the game and added a fourth: Okafor made it 4-0, completing the “beating” described by the outlet.

The 4-1 came at 90’ when Touré scored for Newcastle, but it was not enough to prevent what Mundo Deportivo calls one of the most lopsided results of the matchday. The loss also ends a run in which Jaissle’s side had not yet tasted defeat.
