Leeds United 4-1 Crystal Palace: Naughty and nice — Square Ball 22/12/25

White Christmas Written by: Rob Conlon The best bit about steamrolling Crystal Palace is struggling to work out which was the best bit. In the last game before Christmas, Leeds United gave us so many presents we were left spoiled for choice. The omens were promising even when the game was still goalless midway through the opening 45 minutes. Palace’s waifish number 10 Yeremy Pino went down in Leeds’ half begging for a free-kick and, with nobody in a white shirt showing any sympathy, had to be picked back up onto his feet by the referee, who wasn’t buying the foul either. Palace might have rocked up to Leeds with one of the best away records in the Premier League and their first-choice XI restored after being rested for European duty a couple of days earlier but, despite the occasional struggles of this season, Elland Road has always demanded character and fight from the players on either team — and Palace had a fanny in the middle of theirs. Whenever I noticed Pino from that mo...

Leeds United's harmony in choppy waters paying off as Daniel Farke offers dressing room insight — Yorkshire Post 21/12/25

By Tom Coates A month is a long time in football. Leeds United could not get off the canvas in November, taking hit after hit in a bruising run of four straight defeats. A gutsy second-half display at Manchester City was all there was to savour and fans were wondering how many more blows manager Daniel Farke could absorb. There were more heavyweights on the horizon in December but Leeds have well and truly come out swinging. After beating Chelsea and securing draws against Liverpool and Brentford, Leeds chewed up Crystal Palace and spat them out. It was not always pretty - all four goals in the 4-1 win did come from set-pieces - but it was fast, furious and forceful. "We are not in a position to dominate this league,” Farke said. “We are in a position, as the newly-promoted side, we have to fight nature with a knife between our teeth. "Sometimes, you can have one, two, three good games on the bounce, even as a promoted side, but to show this consistency over s...

Leeds United selection response, Calvert-Lewin's South Stand peer pressure and off-camera Palace moments — YEP 21/12/25

-
By Graham Smyth The YEP’s take and off-camera moments from Leeds United’s 4-1 victory against Crystal Palace at Elland Road. Leeds United had a Christmas party at Elland Road but Crystal Palace were not in the mood. The Whites were physically superior in every way as they created chaos in the Eagles box and dominated them on and off the ball. Two goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a rare Ethan Ampadu goal and Anton Stach's wicked free-kick got the festive period off the perfect start for Daniel Farke's men. Here's the YEP take and off-camera moments from the 4-1 victory against the Eagles. Good day Dominic Calvert-Lewin Only Thomas Tuchel can make a decision on England selection so all Calvert-Lewin can do is control his controllables. His performances are creating a conversation at least and his goals are the exclamation mark. Two more against Palace took him to six in five. Few English strikers can boast that kind of form right now. Whatever happens with the na...

Leeds United chaos theory underpinned by 'immovable object' — Graham Smyth's Crystal Palace Verdict — YEP 21/12/25

-
By Graham Smyth The Verdict on Leeds United’s 4-1 victory against Crystal Palace at Elland Road is in. Leeds United keep creating chaos at Elland Road but it's the foundations that underpin a recent transformation. Elland Road has a way of infecting minds with its madness. It can do strange things to football players, who find themselves doing exactly what they want to do or the complete opposite. The stadium's history is littered with individuals inspired to feats of footballing greatness and those who crumbled under the intensity. There is confidence at Leeds United that the final days of Elland Road in its current guise are just around the corner and that soon enough it will be transformed to meet the demands of ticketing and modernisation. But right now, at this precise point in the stadium's history, supporters are experiencing something that no one would dare tinker with. A football team is playing, fighting and performing in such a way that it feeds the cha...
