However, it was not the same positive outlook for Chelsea and Liam Rosenior after he saw his side drop points at home against Leeds.
The Chelsea manager later claimed that he was calm inside the dressing room after the game against Daniel Farke’s men.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Rosenior more or less misled everyone as his mood was dark after the Leeds fixture.
The Chelsea players saw the angry side of the manager after they chucked away a two-goal lead at home, and it was not pretty inside the dressing room.
His mood may not have improved much as Chelsea conceded a late equaliser at Stamford Bridge against Burnley in the next game.
Daniel Farke’s men have had the measure of Chelsea this season
Chelsea would be thankful that they do not have to face Leeds again this season, as the Whites have proved to be a real handful for them.
Leeds started the revival of their Premier League campaign late last year with a 3-1 win over Chelsea at Elland Road, which kick-started their season.
Daniel Farke had changed his tactics to play a 5-3-2, and Chelsea were his first victim as Leeds overwhelmed the Blues under the lights at Elland Road.
The 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge has dented Chelsea’s bid to finish in the top four and further outlined Leeds’ credentials as a tough team to beat in the Premier League.
