Leeds v Chelsea player ratings: Bijol 9, Tanaka 8; Adarabioyo 3, Fernandez 4

Leeds United stunned Chelsea on their way to a 3-1 victory that lifts them out of the Premier League relegation zone.

Daniel Farke described the win as “a long time coming after many good performances”. The hosts made a blistering start and were rewarded in the sixth minute when Jaka Bijol rose to head Anton Stach’s corner past Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Chelsea had plenty of possession after going behind, but Leeds doubled their lead before the break with a superb Ao Tanaka strike.

Pedro Neto was introduced at half-time and swiftly got a goal back, but after Lukas Nmecha saw a goal ruled out, the visitors were caught out for a chance that Dominic Calvert-Lewin gratefully converted.

After the humbling defeat, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca conceded: “They were better than us in all aspects, they deserved to win the game. There is nothing we can take from this game; the only thing we can do is to try and understand what we did and then reset.”

Joe Rodon - 8/10: Was solid defensively throughout and hardly put a foot wrong all game.

Ao Tanaka - 8/10: Was fearless on the
