- FT: Chelsea 3-2 Leeds United
Llorente booked
90+7. Llorente furious with the referee. Chelsea have the ball down by the Leeds corner flag.
Post-match scrap
Big scrum in the corner. Firpo being led away. Both players have a fair brawl, Firpo punching the tunnel. Huge frustration for Leeds.
Reaction to come
Wow. That’s a tough one to take. A performance full of fight but nothing to show for it. We’ll have reaction here when it comes.
Jorginho reaction
Chelsea midfield Jorginho: “It was very important to have these three points. We had a tough game, Leeds are a tough opponent but we deserved the win. The last-minute goal was just amazing. The whole stadium felt so good.”
“We can always give more. If you gave an extra 10% today we can improve again. We always need to want to improve to do more.”
On playing with a back injury: “My back is not in the best condition, but [sometimes] you need to push yourself more to help the team. That’s what I needed to do. It’s hard, but I pushed to help my team.”
