Leeds United and Newcastle United fans paid tribute to the late Gary Speed during Monday's Premier League clash. Speed was tragically found dead at his home at the age of 42 in November 2011, when he was manager of the Wales national team. His death had a profound effect on the world of football, and led to an outpouring of support for a figure who was held in huge regard. Speed was a hugely popular figure at Leeds, with whom he won the old First Division title in 1992 before the inception of the Premier League. He was also a fan-favourite with the Newcastle fanbase, and he played in two FA Cup finals during his time with the Magpies. And there was a "lovely moment" spotted during Leeds' 4-1 Premier League on Monday between both sets of fans. What did Leeds and Newcastle fans do for Gary Speed? On the pitch, Leeds ran out comfortable winners on the evening as Newcastle proved no match for the hosts. Ao Tanaka 's strike caused an own goal from Lewis Miley , before Jayden Bogle doubled the lead - albeit Dominic Calvert-Lewin will have something to say about that. Calvert-Lewin did get a deserved goal before half-time, and Noah Okafor made sure of the win with a well-executed goal in the second half. Bazoumana Toure scored a late consolation for Newcastle in the only blip on Leeds' card on the evening. While there was the usual barbs between opposing fans, there was a nice moment when the fanbases came together. Explaining what both sets of supporters did, BBC Sport reporter Ciaran Kelly wrote: "Both sets of supporters join in as they sing "Oh Gary, Gary!" in tribute to the late Gary Speed, who of course represented both Leeds United and Newcastle United. Lovely moment." Gary Speed's memory lives on for Leeds and Newcastle It was a genuinely touching moment at Elland Road, and proof - not that it were needed - that Speed's memory will always live on among the Leeds and Newcastle fans. Rivals on the pitch they may be, but fair play to both fanbases for what was a very nice moment in a highly charged fixture. Speed was an excellent servant to Leeds, coming through the routh yanks at Elland Road and playing eight seasons in the first team before departing for Everton It is testamant to the man that all of his former clubs revere him so strongly, with Speed also representing Everton, Bolton Wanderers , and Sheffield United in a lengthy career.
Every word Daniel Farke said after Leeds United's 4-1 win over Newcastle United
Daniel Farke still wasn't fully satisfied as Leeds United won 4-1 against Newcastle United . The Whites couldn't have hoped for much better when they welcomed Matthias Jaissle's side to Elland Road on Monday. Given that the North East outfit were unbeaten until this point, it looked set to be a difficult encounter. It certainly didn't turn out that way as the hosts had a 4-0 lead with less than 60 minutes on the clock. That was thanks to a Lewis Miley own goal and further efforts from Jayden Bogle , Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor . Despite all that, Farke still vented his frustration as he was seen going mad on the sidelines, but why? Why was Daniel Farke angry vs Newcastle United? There was very little to hold against the LS11 outfit in their fourth Premier League outing of the campaign. Scoring four at home is always a massive plus as many top individual performances chipped into a stunning team effort. You can't always be perfect and that was shown by a few hairy moments from James Trafford throughout the night. The 23-year-old would ultimately concede late as Bazoumana Toure found the net in the 90th minute. That saw Leeds' clean sheet wiped out and it's fair to say that Farke wasn't happy with his players. Don Goodman was on co-commentary duties for Sky Sports and spotted the angry reaction from the Leeds boss. He said: "I look down at Daniel Farke and his reaction was fury. Absoulte fury." That continued after the full-time whistle and it is fair given how little threat Newcastle posed throughout. Leeds player ratings vs Newcastle: Calvert-Lewin sensational, 4/10 almost ruins the party What is Leeds United's recent clean sheet record? The reason why the German will be so annoyed is that his side just don't keep enough clean sheets. Considering how good the likes of Tarik Muharemovic, Jaka Bijol and Co. have been for Leeds, they haven't featured in enough shut outs. The Whites have failed to concede just once in the Premier League this season, the joint-second least this campaign. It was a similar story last campaign as the Yorkshire outfit only managed eight clean sheets across 38 games. That ranked them 15th in the Premier League below Tottenham and just one more than relegated West Ham . Farke will be angry over that statistic and that boiled over on Monday night. If Leeds want to rise up the Premier League table, that stat needs to improve and quick.
Jonny, Adam and Simon come to you from Elland Road after the big win over Newcastle.
Gabby Agbonlahor does not believe that Leeds United 's Dominic Calvert-Lewin will get another England call-up. The Whites thumped Newcastle 4-1 at Elland Road on Monday, and their attack was on fire. That includes Calvert-Lewin, who had a goal and an assist on the night, though there has been major discussion over whether he scored two, after the Premier League adjudged the second as Jayden Bogle's. Daniel Farke has now helped Leeds win 35 points in 2026, with only four teams in the Premier League doing better than them. That's largely down to his strike force, which has been spearheaded by an Elland Road favourite. Calvert-Lewin is slowly putting himself back in contention for England, though Agbonlahor suggests he knows what's around the corner, Gabby Agbonlahor says Leeds is where Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 'level' is Calvert-Lewin was given an England call-up in one of the final international breaks before the World Cup, but was sent home early by Thomas Tuchel. It was at that point that it appeared his hopes of being in the squad that fought in North America were squashed. He had to watch England this summer, but will be hoping to keep up his form for Leeds this year, potentially giving Tuchel no other choice. While speaking on talkSPORT on Tuesday, Agbonlahor gave his opinion on the 29-year-old. He said: "I still don't think he gets a call-up. I just don't think he's at the level that maybe Tuchel thinks England needs. Does he look at [Liam] Delap? "If he plays like that, he's a defender's nightmare, but what he will do is that, sooner rather than later, he'll be missing the easy chances; he's not normally clinical. I think Leeds is where his level is." To compare Calvert-Lewin to Delap for a start is utterly nonsensical, but then to say Leeds is his level is even more complicated. That's clearly a dig at both the player and the club, who are striving to qualify for a European spot this season. Pre-anticipating Calvert-Lewin to start missing chances is just strange too, especially given he missed opportunities against Newcastle but still had a major impact. What did Daniel Farke say about Calvert-Lewin's England chances? Farke has been delighted with Calvert-Lewin since he joined the club on a free transfer last year. The former Everton man has finally broken his trend of getting injured, and Leeds are reaping the rewards of potentially his best-ever version of himself. Speaking on the forward after the game, Farke was asked about his chances of getting an England call-up this year. He said: "Definitely realistic, but there are a few other names on my mind with an English passport after a performance like this." DF on Calvert-Lewin and England chance: "Definitely realistic, but there are a few other names on my mind with an English passport after a performance like this." #lufc — Beren Cross (@BerenCross) September 14, 2026 Bogle and James Justin are most likely being referenced, while James Trafford has already been in Tuchel's thoughts. Let's see what happens next week.
Leeds United should have had a first-half penalty in their 4-1 win against Newcastle United , according to Keith Hackett. Inside the opening minute, as Newcastle cleared a corner kick, the ball struck the arm of Matias Fernandez-Pardo in the penalty area. The whole of Elland Road and almost every Leeds player claimed it, but referee Michael Salisbury was unmoved by the appeals and blew up moments later for a foul in Newcastle's favour. Ethan Ampadu spoke to Salisbury, but his decision was backed up by VAR John Brooks. Replays showed that the ball bounced up and hit Fernandez-Pardo's outstretched arm, so while it might have been accidental, his arm was arguably outside of a natural position. However, the Premier League's official announcement suggested different. Premier League Match Centre clarify decision - but Keith Hackett disagrees During the first half, the Premier League Match Centre account on X reported why a penalty wasn't awarded to Leeds . Salisbury was quoted as saying "it's not intentional", to which Brooks agreed, replying: "...the ball just bounces up and inadvertently hits the arm of the defender." Hackett, however, thinks that the fact Fernandez-Pardo's arm was raised makes this a contender for a handball and a penalty kick. "The Newcastle United player has his arm outstretched and I would suggest not in a natural position," Hackett told MOT Leeds News . "He is looking at the ball when there is deliberate contact. "In my opinion, contact was avoidable, so I believe that Leeds United are unlucky not to be awarded a penalty kick here." Leeds United handed Newcastle rematch subplot after Premier League announcement Why VAR controversy disappeared into background Genuinely, does any Leeds fan even remember this? It happened in the first minute and before even the half-time whistle was blown, the Whites were 3-0 ahead. Ao Tanaka 's deflected shot went in and was awarded as a Lewis Miley own goal before Dominic Calvert-Lewin saw a goal of his given to Jayden Bogle before he netted another of his own. Noah Okafor then added a fourth in the second half. It was a barnstorming display by Daniel Farke 's men, who are absolutely flying now and look well on their way to securing a solid top-half position in the Premier League. Next up for Leeds is a home game against struggling Crystal Palace on Sunday before a three-week gap before they head to London to play reigning Premier League champions Arsenal on 10 October.
