Chelsea drop points at home, 2-2 draw vs Leeds

Leeds United deny Chelsea fifth straight Premier League win with dramatic equalizer. Chelsea squander 2-0 lead as Leeds fight back for 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Leeds took control after the penalty, and it paid off in the 73rd minute - poor Chelsea defending...

Chelsea threw away a two-goal lead, allowing Leeds to snatch a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. This draw continues Leeds' impressive run, with just two losses in their last 13 Premier League games (W4, D7).

Leeds fought back from two goals down to earn a point, adding to their strong recent form. Chelsea, who'd struggled in midweek PL games (D1, L2), needed a strong home performance, but Leeds' resilience paid off.

Leeds started strong, with Brenden Aaronson nearly breaking through Chelsea's defense, forcing Josh Acheampong into a claky tackle. But Chelsea struck first, with Cole Palmer's perfect pass setting up Joao Pedro's slick finish over Karl Darlow in the 24th minute.

Chelsea pushed for more goals after taking the lead, but Leeds' goalkeeper Darlow made a solid save from Palmer, and Pedro wasted a good chance, scuffing wide. The Blues kept pressing, determined to win at home, with Estevao firing narrowly wide early in the second half.

Chelsea's attempts to extend their lead continued, but Leeds' defense held firm. 

Chelsea's lead was doubled when Jaka Bijol gave away a penalty, and Cole Palmer confidently scored his third spot-kick in four days. But Leeds fought back, earning a penalty of their own when Moises Caicedo fouled Jayden Bogle, and Lukas Nmecha equalized with a well-taken spot-kick.

Leeds' momentum shifted, and they continued to push for more. 

What a comeback from @LUFC 👏

Leeds took control after the penalty, and it paid off in the 73rd minute - poor Chelsea defending let Nmecha set up Noah Okafor for a tap-in, leveling the game 2-2. Chelsea pushed hard to grab a late winner, but Pedro Neto's inswinger just missed the target.

The game was intense, with both teams creating chances. 

Liam Rosenior's Leeds side pushed hard till the end, but Cole Palmer's inexplicable miss at close range proved costly, allowing Leeds to hold on for a 2-2 draw and deny Chelsea a fifth straight PL win.

The draw continues Leeds' impressive run, with just two losses in their last 13 Premier League games.
