Leeds took the lead in the 32nd minute when Ao Tanaka's shot deflected off Sean Steur and Miley, finding its way into the bottom corner. Just under three minutes later, Calvert-Lewin appeared to score Leeds' second, but the goal was attributed to Bogle after a flick off the top of his head. In stoppage time of the first half, Calvert-Lewin finally got on the scoresheet himself, finishing calmly past goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek for a 3-0 lead—marking his eighth career goal against Newcastle.
The second half saw Leeds continue their offensive, with substitute Okafor netting the fourth goal. Although Bazoumana Toure scored a consolation for Newcastle in the 90th minute, it did little to change the outcome, leaving Leeds sitting with eight points, just four behind league leaders Arsenal.
