Simon Adingra got on the end of an absolutely beautiful pass from Granit Xhaka, and he curled his effort into the top-right corner.
Brian Brobbey came really close to doubling the lead after some really good work from Adingra on the left-hand side, and Brobbey headed onto the crossbar.
Leeds came out in the second-half and put the pressure on from the off, and it worked as Dennis Cirkin got caught out of position as Brenden Aaronson took advantage on the right-wing and his cross found Calvert-Lewin who finished brilliantly.
