Sloppy Blues pay the price for complacency

In recent weeks it's been Chelsea's first-half displays that have threatened to end their winning streak.

But Rosenior alluded to the difficulties his side have had in producing a complete 90-minute performance since he took over from Enzo Maresca during his pre-match interview.

And so it proved again.

With an hour gone, Chelsea looked home and dry. Joao Pedro opened the scoring when he dinked the on-rushing Karl Darlow with a lovely effort following Cole Palmer's through ball.

Palmer then got on the scoresheet, converting from the spot when Jaka Bijol inexplicably bundled over Joao Pedro in the box.

At this point, Leeds hadn't registered a single shot on target.

But sloppiness crept in.

Moises Caicedo, having one of his easier days in defensive midfield, upended Jayden Bogle and Leeds had their way back as Lukas Nmecha converted.

If that was a gift, then Leeds' equaliser was charity.

Josh Acheampong's failure to deal with a simple ball over the top caused confusion and panic in the defence, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and right-back Malo Gusto desperately trying to clear their lines.

But Leeds' industry was rewarded when the ball fell kindly for Noah Okafor to tap into an empty net, leaving Rosenior furious.

"If we want to improve and get to where we want to be, we have to make sure we're switched on for 90 minutes. It's as simple as that," Rosenior said afterwards.

"I'm devastated because some of the football we played was excellent. We should come away with three points and we haven't because two of moments in the game we haven't taken care of. We gifted Leeds a point."

Chelsea were not without their chances in the closing stages, as Joao Pedro headed against the crossbar.

Their best chance fell to Palmer at the death. After a neat pass from Pedro Neto down the line, Caicedo squared a ball across the box for Palmer to tap into an empty net, only for the England forward to blaze over the bar.
