🤝 A deal wrapped up in 10 days 🚑 Placing faith in the striker's injury record 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Teasing a platform for World Cup ambitions 👕 The sweetener of the No 9 shirt Dominic Calvert-Lewin has become Leeds United's talisman, rewarding the club's decision to recruit him with 14 Premier League goals. @Berencross explains how they pulled off one of the signings of the season. 🔗 nyti.ms/42FDKkQ

💀 “Calvert-Lewin, you killed us today” 👨‍⚕️ Backed medical dept to keep him fit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Pitched on England visibility 9⃣ No 9 offered with Bamford still on books 🤝 Deal done in 10 days 💪 DCL ‘bet on himself’ in contract talks 💰 Marked as £20m+ signing #lufc nytimes.com/athletic/72872…

Happy to admit I am one of many doubters Calvert-Lewin has proven wrong this season. Yesterday took him to 14 goals in the Premier League. This is the inside story on how Leeds United landed one of the signings of the season last summer. #lufc nytimes.com/athletic/72872…

The Opta supercomputer is back and has predicted the 2025/26 Premier League table... 👀🏆 Do you agree? 👇

The perfect way to sign off for this season at Elland Road. A never-say-die performance with a decisive goal from their talisman and a half-assist from their little-seen academy graduate. 2025-26 has been brilliant in LS11. #lufc nytimes.com/athletic/72789…

Illan Meslier having a moment on his own on the Elland Road pitch before departing on a free transfer this summer. A sad way for his time at the club to come to an end. #LUFC | #BBCFootball | @BBCWYS

Farke optimistic Aaronson's problem was nothing more than a dead leg. More fearful over Stach. Said Baleba landed on his ankle/knee. He hopes it's not too bad. #lufc

DF: "Sums up our season and our group. Fitting ending. Difficult week with illness and injury. Key players out. In-game injuries too. Defended our clean sheet and never stopped believing. Composed finish from Dominic." #lufc

Farke on the microphone: "I know we have the best fans in the country. We are working to get the best team in the country." #lufc

Daniel Farke's name chanted around all sides of Elland Road as he came out from the tunnel for this post-match ceremony. Stach missing, unfortunately. #lufc

Rutter does a swift lap of Elland Road with applause for the home fans. #lufc

Full-time: 1-0. United are back. Up to 13th. A game going nowhere until Byram predicted Van Hecke's short pass. Calvert-Lewin does what he's done so much this season. Perfect Elland Road sign-off. #lufc

Byram mobbed for spotting the assist. 95th minute! Byram plays a simple pass down the line. Van Hecke collects, but passes blindly inside. Too short. Calvert-Lewin beats Verbruggen, rounds him and then shoots into an empty net from the side of the area. Shirt off. #lufc

CALVERT-LEWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! #lufc

Monstrous tackle from Rodon on Gomez ricochets around the stadium. Warmly applauded. #lufc

Bornauw off for Byram in the 90th minute. Standing ovation. Almost certainly his final Elland Road appearance. Nine minutes added on. #lufc

Elland Road stands to clap Stach off. #lufc

Stach's carried on since the initial injury, but they've now got a stretcher out there to get him off the pitch. Big worry for him with the World Cup ahead. #lufc

Stach's gone down again with his left boot off. Piroe coming on in the 72nd minute. #lufc

Stach's limped off with his left boot off, but now lacing it up to come back on. #lufc
