Chelsea 2-2 Leeds: Liam Rosenior's side throw away two-goal lead and miss chance to go fourth

Cole Palmer missed a stoppage-time sitter as Chelsea threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Leeds United in the Premier League as Liam Rosenior's side missed the chance to go into the top four.

Stamford Bridge was in a state of disbelief when Palmer skied over from point-blank range in the dying seconds. He could - and should - have won it after Leeds clawed their way back from a seemingly impossible position thanks to a two-goal swing over six minutes.

"He's in the position, 999 times out of 1,000 he scores," Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior said of Palmer. "It was just that one in 1,000 moment."

Chelsea will be scratching their heads over how they let their lead slip. Palmer had scored from the spot to make it 2-0 just before the hour after he had set up Joao Pedro for his chipped first-half opener. They were cruising.

Leeds scored with their only two shots on target, and both goals were contentious. Substitute Noah Okafor's 73rd-minute equaliser was allowed to stand despite the ball clearly hitting Jayden Bogle's elbow in the build-up.

VAR was powerless to intervene after referee Robert Jones failed to award a free-kick because Bogle's intervention did not lead directly to the goal.

Lukas Nmecha had earlier pulled a goal back for Leeds from a penalty that Bogle won after going down under a challenge from Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean was unsure about both calls from the officials.
