Leeds United overturned a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The result interrupted Chelsea’s run of four consecutive Premier League victories and moved Daniel Farke’s side above Tottenham Hotspur into fifteenth position in the table.
Cole Palmer created the opening goal for Joao Pedro in the 24th minute and converted a penalty after Jaka Bijol pushed the striker. Leeds responded through Lukas Nmecha’s spot-kick following Moises Caicedo’s foul on Jayden Bogle, bringing the visitors back into contention.
Substitute Noah Okafor exploited confusion in Chelsea’s defence to equalise with seventeen minutes remaining. Palmer later missed a close-range opportunity during stoppage time, leaving the home side unable to recover the lead.
