Chelsea’s Premier League title ambitions suffered a major blow as relegation-threatened Leeds secured a 3-1 home victory. Leeds, under pressure after four successive defeats, impressed with first-half goals from Ao Tanaka and Jaka Bijol. Chelsea appeared set for a fightback when Pedro Neto scored early in the second half, but a costly error by Tosin Adarabioyo allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to net a decisive third.
Cole Palmer made his long-awaited comeback from injury but could not inspire a turnaround. Daniel Farke’s side rose from the relegation zone with a performance that left the Blues struggling.
