Joe Hart was blown away as Leeds United secured victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n Leeds scored four to beat Palace<\/a> in a massive result for Daniel Farke<\/a> to continue the superb run of recent form at Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n The tactical change in LS11 continues to pay dividends as Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored for Leeds once again against Palace<\/a>.<\/p>\n It could have been better for the hosts if Brendan Aaronson and Leeds had been given a penalty<\/a> after what looked like a Tyrick Mitchell foul.<\/p>\n The performance against the Eagles was superb, but it was the Whites\u2019 threat in attacking situations that caught the eye of Hart<\/a>.<\/p>\n Troy Deeney may not rate Calvert-Lewin<\/a>, but there\u2019s no doubt how great he has been in recent weeks in securing goals in five consecutive games.<\/p>\n The Englishman grabbed another two on Saturday as he continued his superb run of form after a frustrating start to life in Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n He was just one plus point in a stellar attacking showcase from Farke\u2019s side, proving that route one football can be effective in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Calvert-Lewin bagged a brace, and Ethan Ampadu got on the scoresheet in the aftermath of a corner, before Anton Stach scored a free-kick, proving Leeds\u2019 threat from these scenarios.<\/p>\n Hart picked out this element of the Elland Road, showing as he piled heavy praise on the Whites and their attacking performance.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cOh my goodness me, the threat from set pieces today, Leeds. Elland Road was absolutely rocking every time a throw-in, Ampadu here, sending absolute missiles into it. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve highlighted Calvert-Lewin against Wharton, but really, really sharp, round the back, loses his man, this man is on fire at the moment, you can\u2019t give him two opportunities from that close, an excellent start for Leeds. <\/p>\n \u201cThey were looking so threatening, as we highlight Calvert-Lewin and Wharton again, Ampadu sends one in, and Bijol, who actually gets an assist, excellent header, and he\u2019s really on fire at the moment, deadly in front of goal. Leeds look really, really good going forward.\u201c<\/p>\n Leeds find way to win Premier League matches<\/p>\n Just five games ago, the Whites looked destined for relegation after four consecutive defeats in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Losses against Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa were hugely frustrating before the defeat against Manchester City showed plenty of positives.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The change to play three centre-backs has helped to get the best out of everyone in white, particularly Calvert-Lewin.<\/p>\n Having more height and physicality on the side is a change that has also paid off, with the various set-piece goals on show against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?<\/strong>\u00a0Stay connected with all the latest news, updates, and behind-the-scenes content by following us on our new Instagram account \u2013\u00a0<\/a>@motleedsnews<\/a><\/p>\n ![\"Daniel](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/imago1069504213-1024x683.jpg\")
