Leeds United fell to a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to Chelsea on Tuesday evening, remaining within the Premier League's relegation places. Mason Mount opened the scoring early on for the Blues, before second-half goals from Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku further compounded the Whites' misery.
Dan James was also sent off during the first 45 minutes, following a reckless challenge on Blues midfielder Mateo Kovacic.
Jesse Marsch's side are now left in a very precarious position with just two games remaining, facing a tricky trip to Brighton, before a final day showdown at Elland Road with Brentford soon after.

Following the full-time whistle, Leeds fans took to social media to react to the result, with Everton drawing 0-0 with Watford, leaving the Toffees two points ahead of United.
@Damien_Cms said: "For the second game in a row we have been beaten early in the game by a sending off. The whole dynamic of the game changed at that point and our attacking threat was minimal. A big performance needed against Brighton at the weekend. 3 or 4 points needed from the last two games. MOT"
@MattRandall2 posted: "Not a Leeds fan, but want you to stay up. Honestly think you would’ve if Bielsa had stayed, even though at times it was hard to watch. No disrespect to Marsch, but I think he’ll take you down. Good luck!"
