Leeds United left-back Junior Firpo has said on Instagram that he is frustrated at his side’s failure to win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds suffered a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League on Saturday.

Chelsea scored in the fourth minute of injury time to pick up all three points from the encounter.

It came from a controversial penalty decision involving Antonio Rudiger.

Taking positives

In our opinion, Leeds should take a number of positives from the match against Chelsea.

The West Yorkshire club scored two goals and gave Chelsea a run for their money.

Remember, Chelsea are the defending European champions and are one of the favourites to win the Premier League title this season.

Moreover, except for a controversial late penalty, Leeds would have picked up a point in London.
