Leeds United completed a remarkable turnaround at Stamford Bridge, coming from two goals down to draw 2-2.
The result means Daniel Farke’s men have taken four points off their bitter rivals Chelsea this season after demolishing them in the reverse fixture back in December at Elland Road.

Goals from Lukas Nmecha and Noah Okafor ensure Leeds managed to scrape a sensational point completley against the run of play.
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior was less than impressed with the result, giving a scathing review of the dramatic clash in the capital.
‘As simple as that…’ – Liam Rosenior reflects on Chelsea surrendering a two-goal lead
Joe Cole was amongst the onlookers who couldn’t believe what they were watching as events unfolded at Stamford Bridge.
Likewise, Rosenior was in disbelief when doing his post-match interview on TNT Sports as the Chelsea boss reacted to surrendering a two-goal advantage at home.
“Six minutes of switching off, we had control of the complete game, we have to just make sure we’re switched on for 90 minutes, it’s just as simple as that.
“We’re devastated because some of the football we played was excellent, we should come away with three points, and we haven’t because of two moments in the game that we haven’t taken care of, and we gift Leeds a point.”
The fact that Rosenior didn’t give any credit to Leeds for their spirited comeback will likely annoy Leeds supporters, with the Whites deserving immense credit for the way they have competed against most of the top sides in the Premier League this season.

Data suggests Leeds were fortunate against Chelsea
As expected, Leeds had to ride their luck at times if they wanted to escape London with a result, and that is something they certainly did.
Chelsea dominated the statistics, posting an xG of 3.65 compared to Leeds’ 1.35
Chelsea also had 19 shots compared to just four for Leeds
Rosenior’s side also dominated possession, having 66% of the ball (Sofascore)
These stats, along with the fact that Cole Palmer arguably produced the miss of the season to keep the game level in the 94th minute, will make the result all the sweeter for those who made the long trip down south to follow their side.
