Chelsea lose ground at the top with 3-1 loss at Leeds
- Chelsea were beaten at Elland Road on Wednesday, losing 3-1 to Leeds United, lifting the hosts out of the relegation zone while Chelsea slipped to fourth with 24 points.
- Chelsea's rotation for the match backfired as Enzo Maresca's five changes led to a lack of urgency, allowing Anton Stach to set up Jaka Bijol's sixth-minute opener.
- Midway through the first half, Jaka Bijol powered a header past Robert Sanchez to open scoring, Ao Tanaka doubled Leeds' lead before halftime, and Pedro Neto pulled one back five minutes after the restart.
- Leeds sealed the result in the 72nd minute as Noah Okafor dispossessed Tosin Adarabioyo and set up Dominic Calvert-Lewin, snapping a four-game losing run and easing pressure on Daniel Farke.
- Cole Palmer returned from injury but missed a golden chance, and Chelsea have won only six of their 49 league visits to Elland Road despite late possession.
