Calvert-Lewin decisive for Leeds in 4-1 win over dismal Newcastle
LEEDS, England (AP) --- Three goals in a 13-minute spell before half time --
two featuring the commanding Dominic Calvert-Lewin - set Leeds on its way to a
comprehensive 4-1 win over Newcastle on Monday to moved into third place in the
Premier League.
Ao Tanaka's deflected shot put Leeds ahead after 32 minutes and then Man of the
Match Calvert-Lewin moved into top gear.
The big striker has a great record of scoring against Newcastle and had also
hit the net in all of Leeds' last five home matches.
He was unlucky to see a 34th-minute header marked down as an own goal after
brushing the head of teammate Jayden Bogle on the way in. But there was no
mistaking his authorship of the third, which squirmed under the keeper after he
poked it goalward under pressure from defenders.
Newcastle's defending was woeful and another weak clearance led to a fourth
after 59 minutes, Noah Okafor slapping his low strike through a sea of legs
into the far corner.
The only bright spot for the visitor came in the final minute when substitute
Bazoumana Tour scored a consolation goal.
