Leeds hanging by a thread as Chelsea take full advantage
Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku scores their side's third goal of the game during the Premier League match at Elland Road, Leeds. Picture date: Wednesday May 11, 2022.

NOW IS the time for Leeds United to stand up and be counted. But Dan James didn’t stand up.

With his side already trailing to Mason Mount’s stellar opener, he lunged down on the ball, following through onto Mateo Kovacic’s calf.

Anthony Taylor sent the Welshman down the tunnel, making it a second red card in a week for Leeds.
