Encouraging result

Chelsea have a much better and stronger squad than Leeds and headed into the match at Elland Road as favourites.

The Blues are in good form at the moment and are playing well under manager Thomas Tuchel.

However, Leeds showed yet again today that they can match any team in the Premier League on their day.
