The Full Time Report — Episode 129: Fourteen Minutes at Elland Road

Leeds United scored three times in fourteen minutes at Elland Road, and by the end of the night Newcastle had lost the match, their manager's unbeaten record, and possibly three players.

0:00 / 19:51
Monday was a one-match night in the Premier League, and Leeds United made it count: three goals in fourteen minutes at Elland Road, a 4–1 win over Newcastle United, and third place in the table. This episode follows what came after the result — Newcastle's three injuries, the two officials stood down over the Manchester derby, Arsenal's request for a meeting about a penalty of their own, and what tonight and tomorrow hold.

Monday's Premier League result

Leeds United 4–1 Newcastle United (Elland Road): Ao Tanaka opened the scoring in the 32nd minute with a shot that deflected off Sean Steur and Lewis Miley; Jayden Bogle made it two from James Justin's cross; Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a third in first-half stoppage time; Noah Okafor added a fourth after the break, and Bazoumana Touré pulled one back in the 90th minute. Leeds are third on eight points from four games and unbeaten; Newcastle are 12th on five. 12

Newcastle's injuries

Anthony Elanga was ruled out before kick-off with a leg problem and is waiting on further scans; Jacob Ramsey felt his thigh in the warm-up and could not play; Nico Gonzalez went off after 18 minutes with a head injury. None of the three is expected to be available on Saturday. 3

The refereeing fallout

The video assistant referee Matt Donohue and his assistant Blake Antrobus have received no appointments for this weekend's Premier League round, after Pro Ref accepted that Erling Haaland's derby winner should not have stood. It is the first time this season that officials have been stood down over an error. 4
Arsenal will contact Pro Ref over the penalty awarded to Sunderland for Ezri Konsa's holding of Dan Ballard on Saturday. 5 The refereeing analysis published on Monday reads that decision the other way, and concludes the video assistant was right not to overturn it. 6

Tonight and tomorrow

Liverpool host Tottenham in the Carabao Cup third round tonight. 7 Andoni Iraola has put Liverpool's problem in front of his forward line, while Roberto De Zerbi has backed Dominic Solanke to find his form. 89
The Europa League league phase opens on Wednesday, with Sunderland at home to AZ Alkmaar, and Crystal Palace and Bournemouth following on Thursday. There is no Champions League this week. 1011

Manchester United after four games

Michael Carrick's side are 13th on four points: a 2–0 defeat at Hull, a 5–2 win at home to Ipswich, a 2–2 draw at Everton and a 1–0 home defeat by Manchester City, in which they produced under one expected goal for the first time in 12 home league games under Carrick. 12

Transfer talk

Monday's gossip: Atletico Madrid and Juventus are considering a January loan for Arsenal's Noni Madueke; Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are interested in PSV's Paul Wanner; Lazio have resumed talks with free agent Mauro Icardi; Crystal Palace want Dean Henderson tied to a new contract; Nottingham Forest will sign Shamrock Rovers striker Michael Noonan in January; Inter Milan are in talks over new deals for Federico Dimarco and Hakan Calhanoglu; and Karim Benzema has been speaking to Bayer Leverkusen players. All of it is interest or talks rather than any completed move. 13
The thread through the episode: a result is only the beginning. Injuries, appointments, meetings and the next match are where a season actually gets shaped.
