Chelsea vs Leeds FA Cup Report

Scorers: Joseph ‘8, 59; Jackson ‘15, Mudryk ‘37, Gallagher ‘90

Conor Gallagher’s dramatic late goal ensured Chelsea’s advancement to the FA Cup quarter-finals, as they eked out a 3-2 win over Leeds United at Stamford Bridge.

Following the 2022 takeover, Chelsea have faced intense scrutiny, particularly after their Carabao Cup final loss to Liverpool, with Mauricio Pochettino’s team being criticized despite fielding a younger lineup than their opponents. The defeat branded them unfairly, overlooking the youth in their squad compared to Liverpool’s.

End to end fixture between both sides

The FA Cup match against Leeds presented an opportunity for Chelsea to respond. However, the match began unfavorably for them, conceding an early goal to Mateo Joseph, his first in professional football, due to their risky play from the back.

This set the stage for a potentially tense atmosphere at Stamford Bridge given their recent form.

Nonetheless, Chelsea showcased resilience, reminiscent of their recent comebacks against Crystal Palace and a draw with Manchester City.

Nicolas Jackson equalized with a goal through Illan Meslier’s legs, followed by Mykhailo Mudryk’s finish off Raheem Sterling’s assist, flipping the match in Chelsea’s favour before halftime.

Despite leading, Chelsea retreated in the second half, inviting Leeds pressure, which led to Joseph’s equalizing header from Jaydon Anthony’s cross.

Leeds appeared dominant for much of the second half, but Chelsea, needing a spark, saw Gallagher, who had been benched after the Liverpool match, make a crucial impact by scoring off an Enzo Fernández assist.

Chelsea’s victory, while tough on Leeds, was vital for their confidence. They now look forward to facing Leicester City in the quarter-finals, while Leeds refocus on their promotion campaign.
