Leeds United Climbs to Third Place After Dominating Newcastle

Leeds United now sits third in the Premier League following a decisive 4-1 victory against Newcastle. Jayden Bogle stated the team is "not getting carried away" despite the impressive performance.

At Elland Road, Leeds showcased a dominant display. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored, and a Sean Steur own goal, along with a Noah Okafor strike, contributed to the win. Bogle was also credited with a goal.

Under Daniel Farke, Leeds remains unbeaten in the top flight this season, inflicting Newcastle's first defeat of the campaign.

Regarding the team's aspirations, Bogle told Sky Sports: "At the moment, we're taking it game by game, we're not to get too carried away. Everyone is ambitious in their own ways but as a group, we'll stay focused and focus on the next game."

Leeds Continues Impressive 2026 Form

Leeds' strong performance extends back to the beginning of 2026, with few teams matching their recent form. In the league this year, only Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Bournemouth have accumulated more points than Leeds United's 35. They have suffered only one loss in their last 13 league matches, with six wins and six draws.

Bogle elaborated on the team's synergy: "It’s about working and having an understanding of the players and playing with them. Dom [Calvert-Lewin] is in the middle competing for everything; getting players next to and under him is massive for us. It paid off well tonight."

"We worked on rotation; JJ [James Justin] was going a bit higher and wider sometimes, which leaves the pocket open for me to get into. Dom [Calvert-Lewin] occupies two centre-backs. It’s about getting into an area where the ball might go. We tried some different patterns and movements we’ve worked on in training to make space."

"We wanted to start well today, get the fans on board and get them going. We did that to start with; it was about maintaining that and keeping the energy high. It was a tough game, a lot of running; it was tough physically. They [Newcastle] are a top side; they can hurt you at any point."
