'Crazy': BBC pundit outraged by decision against Leeds at Chelsea

Leeds United fell to a controversial 3-2 defeat at Chelsea on Saturday in a game of three penalties.

Marcelo Bielsa’s charges came close to leaving Stamford Bridge with a point in a hard-fought clash.

However, a contentious injury-time penalty for Chelsea sent Leeds back to Elland Road empty-handed.

Leeds opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 28th minute.

Marcos Alonso’s mistimed tackle on Dan James in the first half saw referee Chris Kavanagh point to the spot.

Raphinha stepped up and coolly slotted home to give the Whites the lead.

However, Chelsea equalised just before the break as Mason Mount rifled in a first-time finish.

Then, just before the hour, Raphinha slid in on Antonio Rudiger, prompting the referee to review the incident and award the hosts a penalty.

Jorginho converted from 12 yards out to put the Blues ahead.

Leeds youngster Joe Gelhardt equalised for Leeds in the 83rd minute, much to the delight of the travelling contingent.

However, in injury time, Mateusz Klich brought Rudiger down in the Whites box for another penalty.

Jorginho once again fired home from the spot to give Chelsea the win.

BBC pundit Fara Williams wasn’t impressed in the slightest with the decision.

“It’s not a pen,” she said (11/12/21, 16:52). “If that’s a penalty, the game’s gone crazy.

“The game’s gone, hasn’t it? There’s minimal contact.”
