The Blues fought from behind to lead until another late goal conceded looked set to cost us more points in the title race. However, there was one final twist as Jorginho calmly converted his second spot-kick of the day to help us return to winning ways and secure a first league success at Stamford Bridge since 23 October.

Man for man

Nominally Leeds deployed a 4-3-3 formation, but their shape was fluid in trademark Bielsa fashion.

As shown by the average position map above, Raphinha and Daniel James regularly dropped into central midfield to try and stop Jorginho dictating play. They were joined there by Tyler Roberts as Leeds overloaded the middle of the park, forcing us wide.

From there, Bielsa instructed Jamie Shackleton to man-mark Marcos Alonso, while on the opposite flank Jack Harrison dropped in to help Junior Firpo deal with Reece James. As the average position map shows, Shackleton was regularly even deeper than right-back Stuart Dallas.

Heading infield

To combat this, Alonso and James regularly moved into the midfield of the pitch to try and influence proceedings from there. As our average positions below show, James was especially central, and his three key passes was a game-high figure. He was also successful with two dribbles, while Alonso made four interceptions, more than anyone else.

Alonso meanwhile made amends for giving away the penalty from which Leeds went ahead by stealing possession off Dallas to start the move for our leveller. With Shackleton ahead of the ball, Timo Werner could find Alonso with space to run in to - a rare occurrence yesterday – and his low cross was expertly converted by Mount.

That was one of 16 attempts we had, six of which were on target and 10 struck from inside the box. Leeds conjured up 12 efforts of their own, five from Raphinha.

Blood and thunder at the Bridge

In what was the first meeting between these old rivals at a full Stamford Bridge since May 2004, there was an intense pace to the game throughout affecting both sides’ control of proceedings.

In total possession was lost 55 times (32 of those by Chelsea), and there were 24 fouls committed, 15 of which were by the visitors including, decisively, Mateusz Klich’s felling of Toni Rudiger with time almost up.

Of the 24 aerial duels we contested Chelsea won 16, with Kai Havertz particularly effective winning four of the five he went up for.

Leaving it late

Mount’s goal means he has been directly involved in 10 already in the league this season (six goals, four assists), a figure bettered only by Mohamed Salah (22) and Emmanuel Dennis (12). There is no question he has returned to his very best in recent weeks.

Both Jorginho’s spot-kicks were scored after fouls on Rudiger, who became only the Chelsea player to win two penalties in a Premier League match. The other was Yuri Zhirkov in a big win over Aston Villa in April 2010.

Earlier that season, Florent Malouda netted the winning goal at Stoke after 93 minutes and 36 seconds. Jorginho’s winner yesterday was our latest such goal since then, timed at 93 minutes and 11 seconds. It ensured a fifth consecutive home league win over Leeds for the first time in our history.
