"Hearing the Wolves fans turn their ire on the club's owners during Leeds' 3-1 win at Molineux must have been music to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's ears. The former Everton striker had been subjected to taunts from the home supporters in the build-up to Saturday's game, which had been billed by many as an early-season six-pointer between two struggling sides. Wolves had lost their first four games of a campaign for the first time in 127 years while Leeds had failed to score from open play since Lukas Nmecha's winning penalty against Everton on 18 August."
""I think they had a chant going [about me]," Calvert-Lewin told BBC Match of the Day. "I heard my name and I thought, 'Why are they singing my name?' "Obviously, the best way to shut them up is to score a goal at that end and point to my shirt. "Strikers feed off goals it gives you confidence. It's nice to get my first goal for the club and I'll look to build on it.""
Leeds secured a 3-1 away victory at Wolves, their first on the road this season and first top-flight away win since March 2023. Ladislav Krejci opened the scoring for Wolves, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised with a header from Jayden Bogle's cross and won the free-kick that led to Anton Stach's goal. Noah Okafor added a late first-half third while Wolves fans vented frustration at chairman Jeff Shi and owners Fosun. Calvert-Lewin responded to chants aimed at him by scoring and gaining confidence after an earlier missed chance and penalty.
