Leeds United legend Dominic Matteo has singled out Dominic Calvert-Lewin as the player no Premier League defender will want to face after his standout display in the 3-1 win over Wolves at Molineux.
Calvert-Lewin scored Leeds’ equalizer, heading home Jayden Bogle’s cross for his first goal in Leeds colours—and his first Premier League strike since January. The England international then won a crucial free-kick on the edge of the box, allowing Anton Stach to smash home a spectacular 30-yard effort for his debut goal with the Whites.
Matteo Impressed by Calvert-Lewin’s Impact
Speaking to LUTV after the game, Matteo praised Calvert-Lewin’s all-round performance and the way he responded to Wolves fans’ chants. The striker not only found the net but also played a vital role in driving Leeds’ attacking momentum.
According to Matteo, the goal will serve as a warning to Premier League opponents about the problems Calvert-Lewin can cause when fully fit.
Leeds Legend’s Verdict
The former Leeds United captain was full of praise for the striker, saying:
“With Dominic coming in, if Leeds can keep him fit, he could be the key.
I’ve mentioned this before, he’s key for us now because of the way he plays and no one wants to be up against him when he’s at it.”
A Key Player for Daniel Farke’s Leeds United
With Calvert-Lewin off the mark and showing signs of his old form, Leeds may have found the cutting edge they’ve been missing in recent seasons. Matteo’s comments underline the importance of keeping the forward fit as Daniel Farke looks to steer Leeds away from relegation danger.
