"One goal in his first 10 Premier League appearances this season had many questioning whether Dominic Calvert-Lewin's best days were behind him. But, only four weeks on, he's the most talked-about striker in England after scoring seven goals in six games. His latest goal, in the 1-1 draw against Sunderland, took his tally to eight for the season, making him the leading English scorer in the Premier League this campaign."
"The 28-year-old signed for the Whites on a free transfer in the summer after a nine-year spell with Everton, which ended with a series of injuries hampering his final seasons. But the numbers behind his resurgence in Daniel Farke's new counter-attacking 3-5-2 formation are impressive. His six-game streak places him in elite company as only the 11th English player to score in six or more consecutive Premier League appearances."
"Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris summed it up perfectly after the Leeds frontman struck at the Stadium of Light. All 11 visiting players touched the ball during a flowing Leeds move, which ended when Calvert-Lewin turned a low cross from Brenden Aaronson past Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs. "He has the perfect timing," said Le Bris. "He came off the back of Nordi [Mukiele to score]. He's smart and a really good striker and he found the timing to arrive just on time.""
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored one goal in his first 10 Premier League appearances before rebounding to score seven goals in six games, bringing his season tally to eight. The 28-year-old moved to Leeds on a free transfer after nine years at Everton, where injuries affected his final seasons. Daniel Farke's counter-attacking 3-5-2 system has fueled a notable resurgence, and the six-game scoring run makes him only the 11th English player to score in six or more consecutive Premier League matches. The streak compares favorably with top English strikers, and his instinct and timing inside the box remain defining strengths.
