Wesley Fofana's first ever goal for Chelsea heaped more pressure on Leeds, whose miserable season just keeps on getting worse. To their credit, they battled hard, and were competitive throughout the game, though never looked like scoring.

In front of goal, Leeds looked amateur at best. Their best effort, came in injury time courtesy of shot stopper Illan Meslier. His goalward header (from a corner) at least tested Arrizabalaga's reflexes before gratefully landing in his arms.

Chelsea were poor, they even got booed off at half time, yet they had the lions share of the chances, in the first 45 minutes. Meslier pulled off a blinding save from Havertz from a one on one situation, Joao Felix rocked the woodwork from the edge of the area and Chilwell, should have done a lot better from an opportunity he had just before the interview.

The only goal of the game came in the 53rd minute from an out swinging corner. Meslier got caught in no mans land, after changing his mind to come, giving Fofana an empty net, once he out jumped his markers.

Although they battled hard, Leeds showed all the creativity of a digestive biscuit. Their set pieces were woeful, their crossing was poor, and in front of goal, it was just embarrassing. It's going to take something special to stay up.
