"He handballs it, it affects my players in that moment, they think it's a handball, we switch off, we don't clear the ball, they score."
"Then for 25 minutes after that it was wave after wave of attack, we have to just make sure we take care of moments and be professional."
"You're always going to have a spell in the game where you're not top, the ridiculous thing for us is that they've managed to score two goals in a five-minute period, when for the other 90 minutes of the game, we were by far the better team."
"Genuinely, I can't remember Leeds having a shot or moment in the game [prior to Nmecha's goal]. Some of our football in possession, in press, in energy, was everything that I wanted to see and that makes it even more of a bitter pill to swallow that we lost the game."
Chelsea led 2-0 at Stamford Bridge through João Pedro and a Cole Palmer penalty before Leeds scored twice in five minutes to earn a draw. An alleged handball by Jayden Bogle in the scramble before Noah Okafor's finish unsettled Chelsea's players and preceded Lukas Nmecha's penalty and Okafor's tap-in. Leeds registered no shots on target until the second-half penalty, despite Chelsea's domination in possession, press and energy. Sustained Leeds pressure for about 25 minutes turned a commanding Chelsea performance into a frustrating shared point.
