"Dominic Calvert-Lewin became the first Leeds striker to score in five consecutive Premier League games in 22 years to down a lethargic Crystal Palace, and open up a six-point gap on the relegation zone. Mark Viduka achieved the same feat in 2003, helping secure his side's top-flight status with his instinctive finishing, another achievement the latest Elland Road No 9 is aiming to replicate."
"The numbers don't lie, he's in red-hot form at the moment, Daniel Farke said of Calvert-Lewin. [He is] one of the best English strikers in this league. He has proved it before, whenever he was fit, he has shown his quality. Right now he's on a path to be a top, top-class player for Leeds United. I don't like to speak about quality and top-class player just after a few weeks. You have to show this with consistency over the whole season."
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored in five consecutive Premier League games, becoming the first Leeds striker in 22 years to do so and helping beat Crystal Palace to open a six-point gap above the relegation zone. His run mirrors Mark Viduka's 2003 streak that secured top-flight survival. Calvert-Lewin spent much of the summer unemployed before signing for newly promoted Leeds in mid-August and has repaid faith with clinical finishing. Ethan Ampadu's long throws and set-piece delivery have aided several chances. Calvert-Lewin's current form positions him as one of the league's top English strikers, with consistency needed throughout the season.
