Chelsea entertained Leeds United at Stamford Bridge earlier tonight as they hoped to secure all three points at home in the Premier League. The Blues made a decent start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 24th minute when Joao Pedro found the back of the net. Liam Rosenior’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Cole Palmer doubled Chelsea’s lead from the penalty spot in the 58th minute. However, Leeds got a goal back just three minutes later thanks to Lukas Nmecha’s penalty. Noah Okafor equalised for the visitors in the 73rd minute as Chelsea were held to a lackluster 2-2 draw in front of their home fans.
