Edouard Mendy had a disastrous moment in goal for Chelsea as they fell to a dreadful 3-0 defeat against Leeds at Elland Road. The goalkeeper was caught on the ball by Brenden Aaronson as the Leeds man was gifted the simplest of finishes, before Rodrigo quickly brought up his fourth goal of the season.
The Blues had the occasional dangerous moment in their bid to halve the deficit, but Jack Harrison made sure of the result with 20 minutes remaining as he finished from close range. Kalidou Koulibaly was sent off late on to cap a truly woeful afternoon for the visitors.
After last week’s disappointment for Chelsea, conceding a last-minute equaliser against Tottenham, this was their first defeat of the campaign and came in particularly worrying fashion for Thomas Tuchel, who will be hoping that a busy end to the transfer window can give the club a significant boost.
