Chelsea 3-2 Leeds: Following a close match between the Whites and the Blues, Gallagher’s strike advances the Blues to the quarterfinals.
Chelsea defeated Leeds at Stamford Bridge thanks to a resolute and unwavering display following their loss in the Carabao Cup final.
Within the first ten minutes, Mateo Joseph scored the first goal for the visiting team, who had been playing with more aggression from the start. Mateo Joseph’s goal was made possible by an error made by Axel Disasi, who was replaced. Nicolas Jackson, though, quickly grabbed the equalizer with a clinical finish from the right side of the box.
Afterwards, Chelsea went ahead thanks to Mykhailo Mudryk, who played a spectacular No. 10 role the entire evening. Following the interval, Chelsea got off to another sluggish start and were punished once more. Joseph nodded in an equalizer by vaulting over Trevoh Chalobah.
For over twenty minutes, the score remained tied. However, Chelsea advanced to the quarterfinals when Conor Gallagher, who had just been added from the bench, twisted away from Junior Firpo and lifted a shot over Illan Meslier.
