Leeds United defender Jayden Bogle has reflected on his side's fast start to the season and their dominant victory over Newcastle.

The West Yorkshire club remain unbeaten after their first four games of the new Premier League season, sitting in third with two wins and two draws.

Leeds were worthy winners as they beat Newcastle 4-1 on Monday, thanks to goals from Bogle, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor, and an own goal from Lewis Miley.

Bogle has reflected on the dominant win over Newcastle, admitting they had worked hard on the patterns of play used to score against the Magpies.

"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,” he said.

"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."
