The outcome of Leeds United’s appeal into the scorer of the team’s second goal against Newcastle United.

Leeds United have won their appeal over the scorer of the team’s second goal in Monday night’s win against Newcastle United.

Leeds soared into third place in the Premier League table with Monday night’s 4-1 hammering of the Magpies at Elland Road where a Lewis Miley own goal from an Ao Tanaka shot put the Whites ahead with 32 minutes on the clock.

Daniel Farke’s men then doubled their lead just two minutes later as Dominic Calvert-Lewin appeared to head home a James Justin cross but the goal was given to Jayden Bogle who was judged to have got the last touch on the ball as he also rose with Calvert-Lewin to connect to Justin’s cross.

Calvert-Lewin put Leeds 3-0 up on the stroke of half-time, seemingly completing a brace, but the Whites no 9 then discovered that his team’s second goal had been given to Bogle.

Noah Okafor bagged a fourth for Leeds in the 59th minute before Bazoumana Toure pulled back a late consolation for the Magpies in the 90th minute.

Leeds, though, then appealed the decision to award their second goal to Bogle and the club have been successful in their appeal, leading to Calvert-Lewin climbing up to joint second in the very early Premier League top scorers standings on three goals. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland leads the way on four.

A statement from the Premier League read: “The second goal of Leeds United’s 4-1 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League has been awarded to Dominic Calvert-Lewin after an appeal by the club.

“Calvert-Lewin rose highest to meet a cross and head the ball into the Newcastle net in the 34th minute of Monday night's match at Elland Road.

“The goal was initially awarded to the Leeds striker, but the Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel determined that the ball headed by Calvert-Lewin then made contact with his team-mate Jayden Bogle. As this was the last touch on the ball by an attacking player on its way into the net, the panel said the goal should be accredited to Bogle.

“A club can appeal against a decision on the goalscorer to the  Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Appeals Panel.

“Leeds made an appeal and the panel reviewed the footage and accredited Calvert-Lewin with the goal, increasing his tally for this season to three, while also removing the assist that was awarded to him for the goal.

“That assist has now been awarded to James Justin, who supplied the cross that Calvert-Lewin scored from.”
