Leeds secure shock win as they make light work of lacklustre Chelsea - 5 talking points

Leeds United shocked Chelsea and recorded their first win over the west Londoners in over two decades as they made light work of the Premier League heavyweights.

The Whites produced a performance that was high in energy and spirit as a brilliant opening 45 set them on their way thanks to goals from Brenden Aaronson, who seized on Edouard Mendy's error, and the in-form Rodrigo. Chelsea attempted to mount a second-half comeback, but struggled to create as Jack Harrison, who was a standout, made the game safe when he scored his team's third with 20 minutes remaining.

Jesse Marsch's side maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign and now sit on seven points whilst Thomas Tuchel's issues were exposed, especially in the final third, where the visitor's played without a striker. Chelsea's poor afternoon was compounded when Kalidou Koulibaly was sent-off in the latter stages for a second bookable offence.
