"Palace, who made 11 changes from their UEFA Conference League clash with KuPS 48 hours earlier, were undone by two long Ampadu throws at the end of the first half. The first glanced off Chris Richards in the 38th minute and enabled an unmarked Calvert-Lewin to beat Dean Henderson from close range. Jaka Bijol then flicked on the second for the in-form striker to nod home in first-half stoppage time."

Leeds United defeated Crystal Palace 4-1 at Elland Road to move six points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored twice, becoming the first Leeds player since Mark Viduka to score in five successive Premier League matches. Two long throws from Ethan Ampadu led to the first-half goals, and Ampadu added his first Premier League goal on the hour. Palace made 11 changes from their recent European match and conceded three before a late Justin Devenny penalty. Anton Stach sealed the win with a 20-yard free-kick in stoppage time.
