EPL: Chelsea blow two-goal lead as Leeds secure 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge

Liam Rosenior’s perfect start as Chelsea head coach came to a halt as the Blues surrendered a two-goal advantage in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Leeds United at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea looked in control after taking a two-goal lead through strikes from Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer, with the goals arriving either side of half-time. However, the hosts unravelled in the closing stages, allowing Leeds back into the contest through a mix of indiscipline and defensive chaos.

Leeds reduced the deficit after Moises Caicedo conceded a penalty by bringing down Jayden Bogle in the box, and Lukas Nmecha made no mistake from the spot to make it 2-1. The equaliser followed soon after, with Chelsea failing to deal with a ball over the top as Josh Acheampong, Malo Gusto and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez all missed their clearances, leaving Noah Okafor to poke home the leveller.
