00:00the season and a half but he'll be hoping to do better now that he's back wearing Chelsea's

00:05colours and already very pleased to have received a good reception but it's ironic that the man he

00:11failed to displace at Leeds the veteran Gordon Strachan is out injured today he's replaced by

00:1619 year old Noel Whelan who scored the winning goal against Arsenal in midweek after coming on

00:21as a substitute a new face to English crowds that of the number 26 Phil Massinga a South

00:26African international signed in the summer as was Carlton Palmer who's asked by Howard Wilkinson

00:32to play as a central defender Chelsea make one change from the team which beat Norwich 2-0 number

00:38seven John Spencer is fit again so he partners the summer signing Paul Furlong who scored last

00:44week on his debut Nigel Spackman will dictate things in front of the back four Gavin Peacock is free to

00:50roam and Glenn Hoddle makes himself a substitute in what he says will be his last season as a player

00:56and he said speed who came up with it

01:02early pressure from Leeds Wallace

01:08knocked in by Gary Speed Wallace again for Gary McAllister who continued his run

01:16and then whipped it in right footed and he won the ball in the challenge with Frank Sinclair

01:22and three and a half minutes gone his first goal for his new club

01:25and then whipped it in right footed and he won the ball in the challenge with Frank Sinclair

01:31and three and a half minutes gone his first goal for his new club

01:36there's Wheeland he got in the strike and finally behind for a goal kick

01:43and finally behind for a goal kick

01:47Carlton Farmer took responsibility here's White

02:06here's White

02:21Gary Kelly

02:25chested down

02:27chested down

02:28the singer intended for Gary Speed

02:30Carlton Farmer knocks it back

02:32down by Johnson

02:34Brocastle couldn't get there ahead of Worthington

02:40still Chelsea find themselves having to defend

02:44Wallace running at people

02:54that's when he's really dangerous

02:55Whelan

02:57never quite lost

02:59Steve Clarke

03:01so Chelsea have conceded the throw

03:04Massinger

03:07here's Worthington

03:09Wetherall won it

03:16oh super goal

03:18Noel Whelan

03:19they're getting better

03:29it was in the air a long time and it was run very well by David Wetherall

03:33and Whelan finding the ball slightly behind him

03:36nevertheless able to steer it wide of Karine

03:4318 minutes gone and leads ahead by two goals to nil

03:47and there's real quality about their football

03:49Spencer goes down into the challenge of Carlton Farmer

03:55and the referee has pointed at the penalty spot

03:58and you'd have to look at it two or three times

04:02to come to a definite conclusion

04:05the long-legged England international

04:08got tangled up with a little Scotsman

04:10as a wild sweep of the leg

04:12there's no doubt about that by Carlton Farmer

04:14and referee Gerald Ashby

04:17couldn't really have been better placed

04:19the two players are having a few words but

04:21surely there ought to be no animosity

04:23then it's wise to take it

04:26very nonchalant

04:28and maybe that goal

04:30will give Chelsea the heart

04:33to mount a serious fight back

04:34because they've been outplayed by Leeds

04:36in this first 37 minutes

04:38and it's only courtesy of the penalty spot

04:40that they've finally breached that Leeds defence

04:42Leeds so close to goal number three

04:51and Massinga so close to another spectacular score

04:55again a ball whipped in by Nigel Worthington

04:59and look how he directs that

05:01Kareem was beaten

05:03and only the woodwork saved them

05:05here's Clark

05:09good turn by Peacock

05:11Spencer back heel

05:12nicely done

05:13Peacock

05:14furlong

05:15still furlong

05:19the chance appeared to have gone

05:21but he dug it out from under his feet

05:24and hit it straight into the welcoming arms of Lukic

05:28oh

05:30Farmer didn't win it

05:32Spencer

05:33into the penalty area

05:34driven across hard

05:37and hooked away from furlong

05:39by David Wetherall

05:42and it must have been in Carlton Farmer's mind then

05:44as they ran into the penalty area

05:46that he'd conceded the penalty in the first half

05:48against Spencer

05:53Wise

05:54brings Steve Clarke into the attack

05:59he hasn't gone out of play

06:00and it might have been knocked back better by Peacock

06:03because there were players

06:05unfamiliar territory for the right back

06:07but he's

06:09found Sinclair

06:10finally out by Gary Speed

06:14Spackman

06:15again

06:16Chelsea sustaining the pressure

06:18free kick given

06:19Spackman was blocked as he tried to make a run

06:23run

06:24I think Noah Whelan might have been the offender

06:31anyway Leeds will have to defend

06:33from a free kick in a dangerous position

06:35wise

06:36oh

06:37Lukic got down very well

06:39but

06:40Spencer was onto it and the goal will stand

06:43Leeds were still organising the defensive wall

06:45and Chelsea took the kick quickly

06:46a good save by Lukic

06:50but he couldn't get back to his feet quickly enough

06:52and Spencer was in

06:54and Chelsea have made it level

06:55it's 2-2

06:56with just under half an hour left

06:58Spencer

07:07oh he hit the outside of the post

07:09otherwise

07:10amazingly

07:11Chelsea would have been leading 3-2

07:13and maybe the crowd

07:15are getting to the players

07:17David Wetherill

07:19David Wetherill

07:20with

07:23the crowd showing their displeasure

07:24at the way the game has turned

07:26surrendered possession

07:28and Spencer only beaten by the woodwork

07:35Kasinga

07:37into the side netting

07:39he got away from the defence completely

07:46Rod Wally's just knocked the ball in

07:48Masinga got free

07:49and had more time than he realised

07:51again for what could be the winner

07:53here's Spencer

07:56got it on his right foot

08:00well at 5'6

08:01he really gives value for money

08:03John Spencer

08:04one of the smaller players

08:06like Dennis Wise

08:07in the Premiership

08:13here's Gary Speed for Leeds

08:15Worthington

08:18Masinga

08:21gets away from a

08:22poor challenge

08:23by Kjellberg

08:24still Masinga

08:27Whelan

08:28went away from him

08:29White

08:30what a good block by Sinclair

08:31David White must have thought he'd scored

08:33he was happy to knock it downfield

08:35there was a little touch

08:36in the middle of that

08:37from David White

08:38with the outside of the foot

08:39which might have been goal bound

08:40hit a defender who probably

08:42didn't know too much about it

08:43Masinga

08:44an already exciting game

08:50finishing on a high

08:51Worthington knocks it in

08:53it's too close to the keeper

08:55and one or two in the white shirt

08:57show their displeasure

08:58nice little touch by Paul Furlong

09:13here's Gavin Peacock

09:14tries to get away from speed with an injection of pace

09:19just on as a substitute

09:32good deep cross

09:33Spencer

09:34oh it's got through Lukic

09:36it's 3-2

09:37it's 3-2

09:38and Chelsea

09:39all over the field

09:40throw their arms around each other

09:45John Spencer

09:46with his second of the match

09:47and a dreadful mistake by Lukic

09:49Eddie Newton

09:51the substitute

09:52barely on the field

09:53his cross

09:55and somehow

09:56it just slipped away from the keeper

10:01and with 2 minutes left

10:04Chelsea have come back

10:05from being 2-0 down

10:06to lead by 3 goals to 2

10:08right through the legs of John Lukic

10:10a goal to haunt him

10:16a game that got away from Leeds

10:18and which Chelsea are absolutely delighted to have won

10:22and they thoroughly deserve it

10:24because at 2-0 down at Ellen Road

10:26they didn't crumble

10:28they didn't lose their resolve

10:29and the final score here

10:33leads to Chelsea 3
