Dominic Calvert-Lewin suffered a dreadful Leeds United debut as Sheffield Wednesday knocked Daniel Farke’s side out of the League Cup.
Calvert-Lewin joined Leeds as a free agent after leaving Everton after nine seasons on Merseyside, with the expectation that the striker would provide the goals Leeds require to stay in the Premier League.
The 28-year-old has had an injury hit last couple of seasons which has hampered his progress, but Manchester United and Sunderland also showed interested in signing him.
Farke handed Calvert-Lewin his debut off the bench against Sheffield Wednesday with Leeds looking for a breakthrough with half an hour of the tie remaining.

After a Karl Darlow own goal, Jayden Bogle equalised for Leeds with just nine minutes of the match remaining.
With the tie heading to penalties, Leeds pushed for a late winner and ex-Sheffield United man Calvert-Lewin spurned a golden late chance from close-range to win the contest for the visitors.
Instead the match headed to spot-kick’s and after Joel Piroe had his effort saved, Calvert-Lewin stepped up and blazed his strike from 12 yards over the crossbar as Leeds crashed out.

On Sky Sports Soccer Special, former Sheffield Wednesday striker Clinton Morrison said Calvert-Lewin should have done “miles better” with the chances he had in the game before shouting “OH MY GOSH” as Calvert-Lewin missed his penalty.
He said: “They’ve played a strong team today, a lot of new signings, so Daniel Farke knows [they should have been better], Morrison commented.
“And it’s Calvert-Lewin to take the next one, so ooh he needs to score this or it could be goodnight.
“He could have had a hat-trick, he could have.
