Leeds comeback at Chelsea, £5m Bogle shines, warm-up squabble and unseen moments | OneFootball

Leeds fought back from two goals down at Stamford Bridge, securing a vital point that kept their six-point lead over West Ham and lifted them above Spurs. Lukas Nmecha converted a penalty, then Noah Okafor tapped in the leveller.

As reported by yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Okafor did not start after his standout display against Nottingham Forest, with Daniel Farke prioritising defensive work and extra recovery time. The winger answered from the bench with energy, commitment and the decisive finish.

Jayden Bogle justified Leeds' £5m outlay, imposing himself after the break. He won the penalty and then forced panic in the Chelsea box that helped turn the tide.

Sebastiaan Bornauw endured a rough first half, allowing Joao Pedro to run off him for the opener, and was withdrawn 10 minutes into the second period. Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior saw a two-goal lead slip and was irked by Leeds encroaching on the home half in the warm-up.

Palmer showcased his class with incisive passing and a cool penalty. Yet a late miss was glaring enough to haunt any forward.

Off camera, Facundo Buonanotte greeted Chelsea staff, while Lucas Perri worked on kicking and Karl Darlow faced shots as Alex Cairns calmed a turf spat in the home half. Tony Dorigo revived press box monitors, Joao Pedro sought clarity from Rosenior then appealed to officials as Ethan Ampadu grappled him, Farai Hallam reversed a throw-in to infuriate Marc Cucurella, and Jaka Bijol changed boots before Leeds dug in after a late offside near-miss.
