Leeds United Ascends to Third Place After Dominating Newcastle

Jayden Bogle stated Leeds are "not getting carried away" despite their commanding 4-1 victory over Newcastle, which propelled them to third in the Premier League.

Leeds overwhelmed Newcastle at Elland Road. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored twice, with an own goal from Sean Steur and a strike from Noah Okafor rounding out the scoring. Bogle was credited with Leeds' second goal.

Daniel Farke's side remains undefeated in the top flight this season. The win also marked Newcastle's first league defeat of the campaign.

Regarding Leeds' aspirations, Bogle told Sky Sports: "At the moment, we're taking it game by game. We won't get too carried away."

"Everyone is ambitious in their own ways, but as a group, we'll stay focused on the next match."

Leeds Continues Strong Form in 2026

Leeds' current success extends back to the beginning of 2026, with few teams matching their performance level this calendar year.

In 2026, only Arsenal (52), Manchester City (50), Manchester United (45), and Bournemouth (37) have accumulated more Premier League points than Leeds United (35). The club has suffered only one loss in their last 13 league fixtures, with six wins and six draws.

Bogle commented on the team's dynamics: "It's about hard work and understanding each other as players. Playing together is key."

"Dom [Calvert-Lewin] is in the center, competing for everything. Having players alongside and behind him is a massive boost for us. It paid off well tonight."

"We worked on player rotation. JJ [James Justin] would sometimes move higher and wider, leaving space for me to exploit. Dom [Calvert-Lewin] draws the attention of two center-backs. It’s about positioning ourselves where the ball might go. We implemented different patterns and movements practiced in training to create openings."

"We aimed for a strong start today, to engage the fans and build momentum. We achieved that initially, and the focus was on sustaining it and maintaining high energy. It was a demanding match, requiring significant running and physical effort. Newcastle is a strong team capable of posing a threat at any moment."
