Commentary
The full-time whistle goes then, and what a performance from Leeds United who run out 4-1 winners over Newcastle United at Elland Road. It started in fortuitious circumstances, as Tanaka's strike took a couple of deflections and wrong-footed Hornicek, with Lewis Miley credited with the own goal. Calvert-Lewin thought he had scored Leeds' second, but it was later given to Bogle, after his team-mate's header clipped him on the way in. Calvert-Lewin essentially wrapped it up before the break, though, sitting Botman down before coolly slotting past Hornicek. Okafor drilled in an expertly executed fourth as Newcastle failed to deal properly with a long throw-in, to leave Elland Road rocking. The only frustration for Leeds - who had a superior xG of 1.91 to 0.85 - was Toure's late consolation. Leeds' convincing win sees them up to third, and they remain unbeaten in the league through four games. For Newcastle, it's a first defeat under Jaissle, and he will have much to ponder after a game in which his side were completely bullied, and struggled to cope with the physicality of Leeds. Thanks for joining us folks, until next time!
FULL-TIME: LEEDS UNITED 4-1 NEWCASTLE UNITED
Aaronson wins a corner for Leeds, which will surely be the last action of the game...and it is...
CLOSE! James marauds through the centre of the pitch, and unleashes a left-foot effort. It clears the crossbar, but it's not a bad effort from the rapid Welshman.
From the resulting free-kick, Wilson delivers towards the back post and Muharemovic is there to head it back. However, there's too much purchase on it, and it goes out for a goal-kick.

Livramento goes into the book after lunging at Aaronson. He protests it's his first one, but Salisbury isn't interested.
