Leeds United ratings as ‘colossal’ Muharemovic leads four 9/10s in 4-1 Newcastle rout | OneFootball

Leeds United returned to winning ways with an emphatic 4-1 defeat of Newcastle United at Elland Road, a performance reflected in four 9/10 ratings and several 8s, with Tarik Muharemovic described as ‘colossal’.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the hosts flew out and led on 32 minutes when Lewis Miley diverted in after a double deflection.

Jayden Bogle was then credited with 2-0, Calvert-Lewin’s header from a James Justin cross glancing in off him, before Calvert-Lewin made it 3-0 in first-half added time.

Leeds stayed on the front foot after the break and Noah Okafor volleyed a fourth inside the hour, his left-footed effort scuffed but finding the far corner.

Any hopes of a comeback faded, and substitute Aladji Kairaba Toure poked in a stoppage-time consolation for Newcastle.

In the ratings, James Trafford earned 7, Nico Elvedi 7 and Justin 8, while Bogle and Ethan Ampadu also took 8s. Muharemovic top-scored with 9, pairing composure with a key block to deny Harvey Barnes and a deft assist for Calvert-Lewin.
