Story summary

On Monday, Leeds United crushed Newcastle United with a score of 4-1, propelling Leeds to third place in the Premier League. Newcastle's new manager Matthias Jaissle suffered his first defeat since taking over for Eddie Howe, who left along with several key players like Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes. Despite Newcastle's ownership by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund and their focus on rising stars, they were outmatched by Leeds' more experienced squad. The match began poorly for Newcastle when Lewis Miley scored an own goal, followed by further goals from Jayden Bogle, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Noah Okafor. Additionally, in Spain's La Liga, Real Betis continued their impressive season with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal, moving into second place alongside Real Madrid, while Roma and Inter Milan maintained top positions in Serie A by defeating Torino and Udinese respectively.
