Dominic Calvert-Lewin was instrumental in the win, scoring two goals and providing a trademark header for Leeds' second goal. He has now scored eight goals against Newcastle, more than any other side. BBC Football reports that Calvert-Lewin "just loves this fixture" and has a strong record against Newcastle.
The win was a result of a "relentless display" from Leeds, with Anton Stach winning a corner inside 32 seconds setting the tone for the match. Ethan Ampadu ensured Leeds kept pushing for more, barking instructions to his teammates. BBC Football praises the Leeds players, with James Justin and Jayden Bogle also impressing in the match.
Newcastle, on the other hand, struggled to cope with Calvert-Lewin, with Sven Botman and Malick Thiaw both receiving low ratings from BBC Football. The visitors' best chance came from Harvey Barnes, but James Trafford made an important save to deny him.
The next step for Leeds is to build on this win and continue their push for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
