Leeds United claimed their second win of the Premier League season with a thrilling 3-0 win over Chelsea at Elland Road on Sunday – but how did we rate the performances?

Summer signing Brenden Aaronson got United off the mark by swiping the ball from under Blues ‘keeper Édouard Mendy’s feet and tapping it into an empty net.

Leeds United dominance against Chelsea is just the start, Jack Harrison claims

Rodrigo soon doubled the hosts’ lead by glancing home a Jack Harrison free kick then the pair combined again in the second half to get a third for Leeds, with Harrison the scorer from close range.

United ended the weekend in third place in the Premier League table with their unbeaten league run still in tact.

Here's how the YEP's chief football writer Graham Smyth rated the 90 minutes by each of the Leeds squad…

Rodrigo bouncing after strong start

Leeds United forward Rodrigo is delighted with the way his side have begun their 2022/2023 Premier League campaign.

Yet to lose a game, the Whites sit third in the table after claiming a convincing 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Elland Road.

Rodrigo has emerged as a key leader in the squad and wore the captain’s armband on Sunday as he tapped in his fourth goal in three games to stay top of the division’s scoring charts.

The Spaniard is as happy with the performance they gave the home crowd as he is the all-important three points.

"I think the team is doing really well,” said Rodrigo.

"We have started the season in very good shape, it's a very good moment for us.

"Even in the last game, we deserved a bit more.

"And I think today, apart from the three points, I think the image that the team showed during the 90-plus minutes was amazing.

"It was a good atmosphere as well, I just want to thank all the people that came here to support us and I'm really happy for the start of the season."

Thomas Tuchel makes ‘better’ tactical claim

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel claims his side were the better team in the opening stages of their 3-0 defeat to Leeds United.

The Blues looked visibly deflated after a four-minute first-half period put United on the front foot via goals from Brenden Aaronson and Rodrigo.

Before then, though, Tuchel is certain that his team were on top.

"We scored an own goal and gave an awfully cheap set-piece away and conceded from a set-piece," he said.

"It has nothing to do with pressing, the style of Leeds, you should not confuse these things. We were able to be the better team, to be one or 2-0 ahead.

[Then] the belief is on top level and our body language was not as it was in the last match. That's how I felt it. It's surprising.

"I don't see the connection that we lost due to the style of Leeds.”
