An errant decision by Edouard Mendy allowed Brenden Aaronson to score the opener in the 33rd minutes. his soaring Spanish forward Rodrigo scored four goals in three matches this season, when he smashed the ball home from Jack Harrison’s superb free-kick four minutes later.
Raheem Sterling was unable to convert a great first-minute opportunity for Thomas Tuchel’s guests and scored a goal denied for offside while the game was still goalless However, Chelsea had largely disappeared as an attacking force at the point that Rodrigo and Harrison switched their roles at 69 minutes, allowing the latter to score at close distance.
Leeds an impressive beginning to their season with Jesse Marsch now reads seven points and seven goals in just three games.

Goalkeeper, defence, midfield and attack – Chelsea’s four problems against Leeds
Again, it’s worth mentioning that Chelsea looked quite good for half an hour in a competitive game on Sunday. The collapse after Mendy’s mistake ripped open some of the cracks Tuchel has been papering over recently. Koulibaly has looked like a coup of a summer signing but both of his bookings were reckless. Reece James was on the right of the back three, where he feels wasted given his capabilities as an attacking wing-back. He’s certainly a more natural fit for the position than Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
