Leeds United ratings as Daniel Farke’s side lose 6-3 at Chelsea after 2-0 lead | OneFootball

Leeds United exited the Carabao Cup in the third round after a 6-3 defeat at Chelsea, having led 2-0 on Wednesday night. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Tarik Muharemovic and Brenden Aaronson had put Daniel Farke’s side in control before the hosts hit back.

Harry Wilson’s inswinging corner found Muharemovic to head in at the back post. Soon after the break, Aaronson turned in Ethan Ampadu’s cross for 2-0.

Chelsea were awarded a penalty when Daniel James fouled Pedro Neto, and Cole Palmer converted, then quickly curled in a second after losing Sean Longstaff. Neto completed the turnaround to make it 3-2, and Danny Welbeck soon netted a fourth.

Leeds hit back as substitutes Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin combined for the latter to make it 4-3. Chelsea responded immediately, Morgan Rogers crossing for Barco to finish at the back post. Welbeck struck his second deep into added time to complete the scoring.

Player ratings saw Michael Zetterer given six after a strong near-post stop. James Justin earned six, Jaka Bijol five, and Muharemovic seven for his goal and distribution. James was marked six despite conceding the penalty, with Ampadu also scoring seven for ball-winning and his assist.
