How did Leeds score their four goals?
Tanaka opened the scoring in the 32nd minute when his shot deflected past Hornicek. Justin delivered a cross three minutes later and Calvert-Lewin headed the second. In first-half stoppage time Calvert-Lewin beat Botman with a quick dribble and finished from the left channel to make it 3-0. Okafor struck from distance in the 59th minute after a set-piece clearance fell to him. The four goals came from open play and set-piece situations with Leeds capitalising on defensive lapses by Newcastle.
Team line-ups and substitutions
Leeds fielded Trafford in goal with Bogle, Gudmundsson, Justin and Muharebović in defence. Elvedi and Abanda sat in midfield alongside Tanaka and Stach. Okafor supported Calvert-Lewin.
