Wasted chance
82: Nice move from Leeds but McGurk overhits his pass for Dean and does the same again moments later
Very harsh penalty
89: Allen judged to have fouled as he turned with the ball, very strange one. Baker thumped it home, sending Klaesson the wrong way. That will be that, Chelsea will go above Leeds
Two biggest positives for Leeds
Leo Hjelde’s display and Archie Gray’s full match in PL2. Still only 15.
