Following the 1-1 draw, which was only the second time Leeds have avoided defeat in eight Premier League games away from home, Calvert-Lewin was invited into the Sky Sports studio still in full kit.
After giving the Sky Sports panel a few minutes, Calvert-Lewin returned to the dressing room and Jamie Redknapp shared what he asked off camera before speaking. Indeed, he asked for West Ham’s result.
“Dominic rushed up here and the first thing he said was, ‘how did West Ham get on?’ That tells you the mindset,” Redknapp said, clearly impressed. Certainly, Leeds fans will love Calvert-Lewin’s mentality.

Where Leeds United now sit in fight against relegation…
Despite avoiding defeat, Leeds have slipped into 17th place and yet, they have solidified their position outside of the bottom three. Nottingham Forest have leapfrogged Leeds into 16th after a win over Spurs.
Leeds, meanwhile, have now gone three games unbeaten in the Premier League, and although they have slipped down the table, they have gone three points clear of 18th-placed West Ham after their defeat.
Calvert-Lewin’s comments will come as bitter to the Hammers, who had taken the lead twice against Aston Villa on Sunday. But like Leeds, were on the receiving end of a Morgan Rogers brace. losing 3-2.
With two games left to play in 2025, Leeds will be hoping to maintain their unbeaten run when Crystal Palace come to Elland Road next Saturday. Leeds then go to high-flying Sunderland on December 28.
