Leeds United star Raphinha delivered a mixed display for Marcelo Bielsa’s side against Chelsea on Saturday.

The Leeds winger was once again his side’s main attacking threat, and opened the scoring for the Whites.

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 in the 28th minute to give Leeds 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 sent the away following into raptures when he equalised for Leeds in the 83rd minute.

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

A frustrating afternoon for Leeds, who should’ve claimed at least a point but left on the back of a 3-2 defeat.

Nonetheless, Raphinha once again showed his class – penalty concession aside – and some Chelsea fans praised the Leeds star:
