Horrible afternoon by Chelsea, which fell like a sugar cube at Elland Road. The team led by Thomas Tuchel, with Marc Cucurella again as starter, fell thrashed against Leeds and seeing as how the Premier leader is already five points away.

The ‘blues’ came up short in the match and suffered their heaviest defeat since July 2020, when they went down against Sheffield, also 3-0. They had a promising start so far Edouard Mendy gave Leeds the first goal with a crash error. The African goalkeeper was too confident in his feet, there was a mess and Aaronson took advantage of it to steal his bag and open the scoring (33′).

That mistake would do much damage to Chelsea, who moments later received another blow from Leeds, this time on a set piece. Rodrigo Moreno got ahead of the entire ‘blue’ defense to lead 2-0 (37′), a goal that puts him as the top scorer in the Premier with four goals.

Time to row beautifully and Cucurella had a chance to close the gap, though his shot didn’t find the target.
Chelsea tried to put another gear in the second period, but no way to get hands on a leeds who will judge harrison (69′) who caught Rodrigo Moreno’s weak shot.

Only Chelsea has won one of his three matches and he also beat Koulibaly for the next one, sent off at Elland Road. He will miss Leicester’s visit to Stamford Bridge next Saturday.
