Palmer stars as Chelsea rallies to 6-3 win against Leeds in the English League Cup
Chelsea staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Leeds 6-3 in the English League Cup on Wednesday. After trailing 2-0 at halftime, the visitors scored four goals in just 12 minutes to turn the match around. Substitutes Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto were instrumental in the revival, with Palmer converting a penalty and Neto equalizing. Danny Welbeck added to Chelsea's tally in the second half, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin pulled one back for Leeds at 4-3.
A final goal from Valentin Barco sealed the win, and Welbeck made it 5-4 in injury time. This was the fourth time this season that Chelsea had conceded two or more goals in a game.
