Leeds United had another day to forget in the capital, losing 3-2 to title chasing Chelsea.

Raphinha gave Leeds the lead from the spot, before Mason Mount equalised prior to the half time whistle. The comeback was completed by Jorginho who converted his penalty, or so he thought. Joe Gelhardt levelled things up moments after coming on in the closing stages.

It was heartbreak for Leeds though as right at the death, Jorginho bagged his second penalty of the game to clinch all three points.

Despite another negative result, the performance of Raphinha impressed Leeds fans, especially when you look at his penalty.

Will Leeds be relegated?

Yes!

Yes!

No!

No!

Who was Bielsa's first competitive game as Leeds manager against?

The Brazilian has been vital to Bielsa this season, producing impressive numbers in front of goal. In just 14 league appearances, he averages a goal every other game, scoring seven times. He also has an assist to his name.

Yet another defeat for Bielsa and his side is worrying. They now sit 15th in the table, just six points clear of safety. The danger is compounded by the fact that Burnley, who are in the last relegation spot currently, have two games in hand on Leeds.
