Justice for DCL! | Leeds 4-1 Newcastle Reaction: Calvert-Lewin Brace, Third in the Table & Palace
Leeds, That! - A Leeds United Fan PodcastShow Notes
We discuss a statement night under the Elland Road lights, as Leeds United blew Newcastle away 4-1 on Monday Night Football to stay unbeaten and climb to third in the Premier League. Three goals in 14 first-half minutes, a Dominic Calvert-Lewin double, and Matthias Jaissle's first defeat as Newcastle boss.
In this episode we unpack a relentless first half: Ao Tanaka's deflected opener, Dominic Calvert-Lewin bullying Sven Botman all night, and Noah Okafor's cool finish to make it four. James Justin's cross for the second deserves its own segment. Eight points from four games. Only Arsenal and Man City above us.
We get into the goal that launched a thousand memes. Calvert-Lewin's header was first credited to Jayden Bogle, Bogle said it never touched him, DCL called it "scandalous" and Leeds appealed. Now the Premier League appeals panel has given the goal back to DCL, taking him to three for the season. James Justin picks up the assist, and 2.3 million FPL managers are left fuming about their missing two points. Justice served. Plus the first-minute penalty shout that the ref and VAR waved away, and why Keith Hackett thinks we were robbed.
Gudmundsson's cramp scare. Trafford barely troubled. Toure's late consolation. Is this the best Leeds performance of the Farke era in the Premier League?
Then we look ahead to Sunday, as a battered Crystal Palace come to Elland Road. Pierre Sage's side have lost three of four, play in the Europa League on Thursday, and are without Mateta, Henderson and Disasi.

Five games, five without defeat, and somehow it feels flat. Leeds ground out a goalless draw with Palace to stay unbeaten, but this was nothing like the Newcastle night. Two shots on target. A Palace goal chalked off by VAR on 53. And a manager who said his side were "a bit too slow in the head at times."
