Chances from Loftus-Cheek and Mount followed, while Sterling had another excellent chance that he did finish but saw rightly called back for offside.<\/p>\n<p id=\"VXfCgu\">And then it all changed just past the half-hour mark, as Mendy had an unthink and gifted the ball to Aaronson, who tapped in from a yard.  Leeds, in their only two minutes of true ascendancy, quickly scored a second from a set piece, which can happen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"qpVqOx\">Chelsea regrouped at half, with a formation shift, but continued the theme by wasting three chances in quick succession soon after the restart, Cucurella, Mount, and Gallagher getting in on the act.<\/p>\n<p id=\"36gxMj\">And then Leeds scored a third with their first shot in the half, because that&#8217;s how such games go.<\/p>\n<p id=\"L8oakN\">Chelsea&#8217;s misery was completed when Koulibaly collected his second yellow late on.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Ql4cd5\">carefree<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"xxgxDo\">One change from last weekend, Gallagher replacing the injured Kant\u00e9, to exactly match the people&#8217;s choice from the community voting.<\/li>\n<li id=\"8eHYD0\">Half-time formation shift to 4-3-3, with James and Cucurella as full backs, Loftus-Cheek in the middle alongside Jorginho and Gallagher pushing up.<\/li>\n<li id=\"yDY61z\">Pulisic and Ziyech on just past the hour-mark as Chelsea give up playing any midfield whatsoever.
