Leeds United put four goals past Newcastle United in a 4-1 drubbing to climb up to third in the Premier League table and inflict a punishing first defeat for Magpies boss Matthias Jaissle.<\/p>\n

A Lewis Miley own goal opened the floodgates before Jayden Bogle, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor completed the rout at Elland Road on Monday.<\/p>\n

Newcastle had made a positive start under Jaissle despite the upheaval of losing manager Eddie Howe and key players Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali in the off-season.<\/p>\n

Despite being owned by the financial might of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, Newcastle targeted rising stars to fill the void of those that left and were outmuscled by a more experienced Leeds.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was clear from the start and I said that many times that we will have up and downs, challenges along the way,\u201d said Jaissle. \u201cWe faced that challenge and it\u2019s tough, it\u2019s really tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

A bad night for the visitors began inside the first 20 minutes when Nico Gonzalez had to be replaced as a concussion substitute.<\/p>\n

That left 18-year-old Sean Steur and Lewis Miley, 20, together at the heart of the Newcastle midfield and the later unfortunately had the final touch after Ao Tanaka\u2019s strike took two deflections before looping into the net.<\/p>\n

The visitors failed to regain their composure as just two minutes later Leeds doubled their advantage.<\/p>\n

Calvert-Lewin rose highest to meet James Justin\u2019s cross but his header flicked off Bogle as it found the bottom corner and the right-back was given the goal.<\/p>\n

The Leeds\u2019 number nine did not have to wait long to make sure he did score for the fifth consecutive league game at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Calvert-Lewin bulldozed his way past Sven Botman before sliding the ball under Lukas Hornicek in the Newcastle goal.<\/p>\n

Anton Stach should have added a fourth early in the second period when he pounced on a slack Hornicek pass out from the pack but dinked the ball just wide.<\/p>\n

Okafor did make it 4-0 before the hour mark when he volleyed in from the edge of the box after Newcastle failed to clear a long throw.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerfect start right now with eight points, terrific performance,\u201d said Leeds boss Daniel Farke. \u201cEnergy, quality and good structure in and without possession.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bazoumana Toure netted a consolation in stoppage time to reduce Newcastle\u2019s arrears, but the damage was long since done.<\/p>\n

Victory takes Farke\u2019s men behind only defending champions Arsenal and Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Newcastle remain on five points but slip down to 12th due to their negative goal difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
