The worst version of Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea showed up to play at Elland Road and were emphatically defeated 3–1 by Leeds United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Jaka Bijol scored the opener just six minutes into the match before an Ao Tanaka strike doubled the Leeds lead on the brink of half-time.
Pedro Neto gave Chelsea life with a goal inside the first five minutes of the second half. However, an egregious defensive blunder allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score a Leeds third to hammer the final nail in Chelsea’s coffin.
Only a week after Chelsea dominated Barcelona, they delivered their most abject performance of the season against Leeds to drop to fourth in the Premier League standings. If the inconsistency continues, it’s impossible to view them as genuine title contenders this season.
