"After Chelsea had surrendered a two-goal lead, Moises Caicedo surged into the right side of the penalty area and delivered a perfectly weighted low cross across the face of the six-yard box. Unmarked and standing just a yard out, Palmer seemed certain to tap home for his fifth goal in two matches. However, the 23-year-old shocked everyone as he failed to connect with the ball properly, sending it high over the crossbar into the Shed End."

Cole Palmer missed a point-blank chance in the 94th minute after Moises Caicedo delivered a perfectly weighted low cross across the six-yard box. Palmer, unmarked and a yard out, failed to connect properly and sent the ball over the crossbar, remaining slumped in the net. Chelsea had led 2-0 through Joao Pedro and a Palmer penalty before Leeds responded, with Lukas Nmecha scoring from the spot and Noah Okafor capitalising on a defensive mix-up between Robert Sanchez and Josh Acheampong to level. The match finished 2-2, continuing Leeds' strong record against Chelsea this season.
