Chelsea snapped their two-match losing streak on Saturday with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Leeds in the Premier League.

Three goals from the 5 scored in the night came from the penalty spot as Chelsea got two while Leeds got one.

The drama started with Raphinha's penalty which provided Leeds 1-0 lead in the 26th minute. But Chelsea continued their barrage of attacks and found the equaliser in the 42nd minute when Mason Mount deflected a cross from Marcos Alonso.

The counter-attacking game continued in the second half too but this time Chelsea won a penalty in the 58th minute and Italian mid-fielder Jorginho scored, giving his team a 2-1 lead.

With an equaliser from Joe Gelhardt in the 83rd minute, Leeds thought of stealing a point but drama spilled into the stoppage time when Jorginho converted the penalty in the last minute to give Chelsea a dramatic win.

Chelsea remain third as Manchester City and Liverpool won their respective Premier League matches on Saturday.
