Leeds ‘not getting carried away’ after rising to third with Newcastle thrashing

Jayden Bogle insisted Leeds are “not getting carried away” despite rising to third in the Premier League with a dominant 4-1 win over Newcastle.

Leeds ran riot at Elland Road, with Bogle credited with the second goals after a header by Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who scored a goal of his own for the third, with a Sean Steur own goal and a Noah Okafor completing the scorers.

Daniel Farke’s men remain unbeaten in the top flight this season and are now third in the top flight, while they also handed Newcastle their first defeat of the season.

On Leeds’ ambitions, Bogle told Sky Sports: “At the moment, we’re taking it game by game, we’re not to get to carried away.

“Everyone is ambitious in their own ways but as a group, we’ll stay focused and focus on the next game.”

Leeds continue to impress in 2026

Leeds’ success this season actually stretches back to the start of the year, with few teams bettering their form in 2026.

Only Arsenal (52), Manchester City (50), Manchester United (45) and Bournemouth (37) have won more Premier League points in 2026 than Leeds United (35), with the Whites suffering just a single defeat across their last 13 league games (won six, drawn six).

Bogle added: “It’s about working and having an understanding of the players and playing with them.

“Dom [Calvert-Lewin] is in the middle competing for everything, getting players next to and under him is massive for us. It paid off well tonight.

“We worked on rotation, JJ [James Justin] was going a bit higher and wider sometimes which leaves the pocket open for me to get into.

“Dom [Calvert-Lewin] occupies two centre-backs. It’s about getting into an area where the ball might go. We tried some different patterns and movements we’ve worked on in training to make space.”

“We wanted to start well today, get the fans on board and get them going. We did that to start with, it was about maintaining that and keeping the energy high.

“It was a tough game, a lot of running, it was tough physically. They [Newcastle] are a top side, they can hurt you at any point.”
