Leeds United prediction comes true after 'wonderful' Calvert-Lewin moment vs Wolves

Dominic Calvert-Lewin arrived at Leeds United with plenty of pressure to deliver.

With just one win to their name ahead of the clash with Wolves, Leeds knew that this was as close to a must-win as it could possibly be after just five games.

They showcased their awareness of that with a solid performance at Molineux, with Leeds securing a 3-1 victory against bottom-placed Wolves.

Several players impressed for the Whites, but it was a moment from Calvert-Lewin that caught the attention of Dave Edwards.

Questions emerged when Leeds signed Calvert-Lewin in the summer, and concerns were raised when he made his debut in their Carabao Cup defeat against Sheffield Wednesday.

However, Daniel Farke kept faith in the 28-year-old and that paid off with his goal to draw Leeds level in their clash with Wolves.

Prior to the game, Kris Boyd highlighted Calvert-Lewin as Leeds’ potential saviour, and it seems as though that prediction could come true.

On the goal, Edwards said via World Feed commentary: “It’s a deep cross, I don’t think they’re expecting it.

“Agbadou can’t get around quick enough. But once it is in that area, that’s a wonderful, wonderful header from Calvert-Lewin.

“He’s backing away, he can’t get the power on the ball, it’s got to be precision. And he arcs it over Jose Sa. Terrific finish.”

Leeds need to get more out of Calvert-Lewin

Recency bias is a big thing in football, and Calvert-Lewin has certainly not done much in recent seasons to suggest that he has what it takes in the Premier League.

However, ability doesn’t disappear overnight; it’s up to the player and his club to rekindle the form.

Calvert-Lewin’s time at Everton.

Now that the Englishman is off the mark, Leeds need to stick with him and ensure that they keep providing him with the service like they did against Wolves.

Calvert-Lewin held the ball up well for his side and took his only real chance of the game to get Leeds level.

If Saturday’s display was a sign of things to come, then Leeds may finally have their answer to the attacking concerns that have lingered over their return to the Premier League.
