Leeds United beat Newcastle United 4-1 at Elland Road on Monday to move up to third in the Premier League table. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jayden Bogle and Noah Okafor scored for the hosts as they maintained their unbeaten start to the season. The win came after both teams entered the match with five points from their opening three games. An own goal by Lewis Miley in the 32nd minute gave Leeds an early lead before Calvert-Lewin headed home just before half-time to make it 2-0. Bogle added a third shortly after the break following a teasing cross from James Justin. Okafor then extended the advantage to 4-0 in the 59th minute before Bazoumana Toure pulled one back for Newcastle late on. Calvert-Lewin now has eight goals against Newcastle in his career after his latest strike. James Trafford made a key save to deny Harvey Barnes while Sven Botman struggled against the Leeds forward. Melvin Bard made his Premier League debut coming on for Gabriel Gudmundsson at 72 minutes, with Brenden Aaronson and Harry Wilson also introduced at the same time. Lukas Nmecha replaced Ao Tanaka at 78 minutes and Daniel James came on for Jayden Bogle five minutes later. Sean Longstaff entered the game for Anton Stach at 88 minutes as Newcastle pushed for a consolation goal. Jamie Carragher said: "Calvert-Lewin was unplayable. One of the greatest sights in football is seeing a centre-forward rise above everyone and attack the ball." He also added: "Leeds are fifth in the Premier League table since December." Leeds United sit 11th in the Premier League on five points after three games with a goal difference of +1.
