Leeds picked up where they left off and looked so dynamic. Jayden Bogle and Gabriel Gudmundsson were set loose down the wings, Jaka Bijol monstered Liam Delap in the centre, the midfield three picked Chelsea pockets, while the two strikers tormented a misshapen away backline.

To make matters worse for the visitors, a poor attempt to play out of the back resulted in a costly turnover. Ao Tanaka received the ball just outside the penalty area with time and space to fire a shot out of Sánchez’s reach to double the host’s lead just before the break.
