Chelsea’s Premier League title credentials were badly tarnished as they were beaten 3-1 by relegation candidates Leeds. Daniel Farke’s position had been in doubt after his Leeds side lost four on the spin, but they supplied a brilliant performance at Elland Road to dispatch the lacklustre Blues and hoist themselves out of the relegation zone. Goals from Ao Tanaka and Jaka Bijol had them two to the good come half-time, but Chelsea seemed set for a comeback after substitute Pedro Neto pulled one back moments into the second period.

But a howler from Tosin Adarabioyo gifted Dominic Calvert-Lewin a third with a quarter of an hour remaining, and Chelsea were deservedly beaten. Leeds even threatened to score a fourth as Chelsea rolled over, desperately waiting for the full-time whistle.

Cole Palmer came on in the second half to make his first appearance since being injured in September, but failed to affect a turnaround. Catch up with the action as it happened below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Dom Smith at Elland Road.
