Newcastle United faced off against Leeds United at Elland Road earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies made a poor start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 32nd minute when Lewis Miley scored an unfortunate own goal. Jayden Bogle doubled his side's advantage just a couple of minutes later. Dominic Calvert-Lewin got his name on the scoresheet in the first half injury-time as Newcastle went into the half-time break 3-0 down on the scoreline.
Noah Okafor added another goal for Leeds in the 59th minute. However, Bazoumana Toure scored a consolation goal for the Magpies in injury time as Newcastle crashed to a disappointing 4-1 loss away from home.

CB: Malick Thiaw – 6/10
