Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior was furious to learn why VAR had allowed Leeds' equaliser to stand during his post-match interview after Tuesday's disappointing 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. The Blues‚ who had cruised to a two-goal lead through Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer‚ squandered their advantage after conceding twice in six minutes midway through the second half‚ missing the chance to leapfrog Manchester United into fourth place. After Lukas Nmecha halved the deficit for Leeds from the penalty spot‚ Noah Okafor scored a scrappy equaliser to restore parity‚ despite the ball appearing to strike Jayden Bogle in the build-up.
Marc Cucurella has made a very honest admission about the role he played during Chelsea's explosive brawl with West Ham players last week. The feisty clash at Stamford Bridge erupted into chaos in second-half stoppage time after Adama Traore threw Cucurella to the floor by the corner flag. While both sets of players brawled in a huge melee‚ West Ham star Jean-Clair Todibo grabbed Joao Pedro by the throat and was subsequently sent off by referee Anthony Taylor following a VAR check.
KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Long before Aston Villa realised they were also allowed to attack‚ Chelsea had so many chances to kill this contest‚ but therein lied the problem: they lack killers. Joao Pedro led the line for Enzo Maresca and scored somewhat flukily after Reece James' brilliant cross from a corner nicked his backside. Yet you watch Chelsea‚ you see them create chances galore‚ and rarely do you get that 'they could score here' sense of anticipation in your stomach. It is all so wasteful. Alejandro Garnacho might get himself into a good position‚ only to then balloon the ball into the Shed End. Pedro Neto might skip by his man‚ only to then find nobody with his cross. Chelsea have attackers galore who can nick a goal here and there‚ from Garnacho to Neto to Jamie Gittens to Enzo Fernandez‚ but are craving that ultra clinical finisher.
ANALYSIS BY KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: An hour or so before kick-off‚ there was a fox on the loose inside Stamford Bridge‚ running in between the rows of seats in the East Stand. You did wonder whether Chelsea might need one of those in the box‚ given Enzo Maresca's starting line-up showed how he had zero strikers on the pitch. He had three on the bench in Liam Delap‚ Joao Pedro and Marc Guiu - four if we count the academy graduate Tyrique George - but none spearheading his attack.
Chelsea climbed to second in the table with a dominant 3-0 victory over Wolves on Saturday - netting three in the second half after a first ever goal from unlikely scorer Malo Gusto. The Frenchman headed the Blues in front after a frustrating first half against the Premier League's biggest strugglers‚ with Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto adding to the scoresheet to hand Enzo Maresca's side a comfortable victory in west London. Daily Mail Sport's KIERAN GILL was at Stamford Bridge to assess Chelsea's performance as they returned to winning ways after Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Qarabag.
Joao Pedro's smart finish inside the penalty box was enough to earn Chelsea a comfortable 1-0 win over Tottenham in north London on Saturday - and the only regret Enzo Maresca's side will have is that the didn't pile on more misery for Spurs. A convincing performance‚ led by the tenacity and rigour of Moises Caicedo in midfield‚ saw Chelsea dismantle Thomas Frank's side with ease and leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the satisfaction of climbing level on points with their London rivals in the Premier League table. Meanwhile‚ it was a torrid afternoon for Tottenham‚ who were booed off the pitch by their own fans after a disjointed and lacklustre display on home soil.
KIERAN GILL AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur were booed off the pitch tonight after slumping to a feeble defeat against Chelsea. It was a night of drama in north London‚ where the two sides were - on the scoreboard at least - only separated by the fine margin of a Joao Pedro strike. But in reality‚ Enzo Maresca's men could have left with at least two‚ if not three goals‚ and Spurs fans would not have much room to complain. Here's how the players rated...
