The former Everton striker was barracked by the home fans before scoring for Leeds as they went onto win 3-1.
Calvert-Lewin later said: "I think they had a chant going.
"I heard my name and I thought, 'Why are they singing my name?'
"Obviously, the best way to shut them up is to score a goal at that end and point to my shirt.
"Strikers feed off goals – it gives you confidence. It's nice to get my first goal for the club and I'll look to build on it."
Calvert-Lewin also told BBC Sport, "It's massive. We knew what we were capable of going into the game.
"Going 1-0 down, we showed great character to turn it around. We then had the confidence to play. The rest took care of itself.
"We should have taken the game to them a little more. I think we showed our resilience to be able to defend deep.
"Next time, we'll look to build on the momentum of the first half."
