Dominic Calvert-Lewin sends a message to Wolves fans after scoring his first Leeds United goal
Dominic Calvert-Lewin Silences Wolves Fans with Stunning Goal for Leeds United
Dominic Calvert-Lewin delivered the perfect response to Wolverhampton Wanderers fans by scoring his first goal for Leeds United in a vital clash at the bottom of the Premier League table.
The game began poorly for Leeds, with Ladislav Krejčí slicing through their defence to give Wolves an early advantage. But the Whites showed determination and resilience, refusing to fold under pressure.
Calvert-Lewin stepped up with a moment of real quality, rising to meet a cross with a superb header that looped over goalkeeper Jose Sa to level the score. The goal not only brought Leeds back into the game but also served as a pointed reply to the Wolves supporters who had been taunting him during the pre-match build-up.
The England striker made his feelings clear with a bold celebration—cupping his ear and pointing to the name on the back of his shirt right in front of the Wolves home crowd.
It was a goal that highlighted exactly why manager Daniel Farke was keen to bring Calvert-Lewin to the club—his aerial prowess and composure in front of goal proved crucial.
Leeds fans joined in the fun, sarcastically chanting “we’ve scored a goal” as their team finally broke a three-game scoreless streak. Their joy only grew moments later when Anton Stach fired in a brilliant free-kick to give Leeds the lead, followed by Noah Okafor adding a third to complete a stunning turnaround in the first half.
Calvert-Lewin’s strike marked not just Leeds’ first open-play goal of the season, but also his own return to the scoresheet, ending a personal drought against Wolves—currently bottom of the league.
Before this match, Calvert-Lewin had gone eight games without scoring against Wolves during his time at Everton.
Now, he’s finally broken that streak—netting his first goal for Leeds United and achieving a personal milestone in the process.
