Calvert-Lewin's Brace Seals Crystal Palace's Fate

Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his sensational scoring form, netting a brace in Leeds United's commanding win against Crystal Palace at Elland Road. His two goals in the first half, both stemming from Ethan Ampadu's long throws, marked his fifth consecutive Premier League game with a goal.

Ethan Ampadu was the catalyst for Leeds' success, directly contributing to all three goals. Beyond his pivotal long throws that created scoring opportunities, Ampadu also added a goal himself in the second half. This victory propels Leeds United with renewed confidence as they move away from the relegation zone.

Crystal Palace, conversely, appeared fatigued and struggled significantly with Leeds' set-piece prowess, conceding three goals from such situations. Their defensive vulnerabilities were starkly evident, contrasting sharply with Leeds' surge in morale. A late penalty converted by Justin Devenny offered little consolation for the Eagles.
