I don't see the connection that we lost to the style of Leeds. "We were able to be the better team. "We scored an own goal and conceded from a set piece," Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel said. [as his ban for last week's confrontation](/football/chelsea-engchelsea/story/4725167/chelsea-boss-thomas-tuchel-banned-tottenham-antonio-conte-fined-for-touchline-row) with Tottenham boss Antonio Conte was suspended. "It was the best performance since I have been here," Marsch said. forward took the ball from the Chelsea goalkeeper's feet and dribbled into an empty net.

Thomas Tuchel's men suffered a 3-0 defeat on the road to Jesse Marsch's Leeds and here are some of the key takeaways heading into game week four.

It can be difficult to fully decipher what exactly the 26-year-old's role is for the Blues, as he floats around from position to position, yet it could be argued that he maybe deserves a bit more. The Senegalese captain is an exceptional tackler, but the time and place of when he goes in for one need to be considered much more if he wants to survive players such as Bernardo Silva, Allan Saint-Maximin and Mo Salah. Three shots on target, a few more if you count the offside chances, and supporters were gifted little to nothing up front, with Kai Havertz absolutely nowhere to be seen for the 19 passes he made in 90 minutes. Conor Gallagher in particular looked out of his depth amongst shaky teammates, often dispossessed and left stranded, but as transfer rumours continue to speculate, he perhaps won't be getting many more minutes in blue. Tuchel's wing-backs are amongst the best in the business and it appears their output is not that easy to replicate when one of them is absent. New man Marc Cucurella has shown signs of being an impressive understudy for Ben Chilwell, but he just doesn't bring what the England international is able to seamlessly offer, both defensively and going forward.

All the action from Elland Road. Premier League. Leeds United 3 (Aaronson 33', Rodrigo 37', Harrison 39'). Chelsea 0. Leeds: ...

Straight into the action, Klich and Gelhardt combined and look to get in on goal. James had used his pace to break free before crossing into the box and finding Rodrigo, who teed the ball up for Harrison to fire home at close range! Meslier was forced into action with 25 minutes to go, pulling off two much-needed and excellent saves in the space of 30 seconds. Adam Forshaw came on for the hard-working Roca in a straight swap at the heart of the midfield, with 30 minutes remaining. Opportunities were coming on the break for Leeds, with Dan James using his blistering pace to break down the wing. Chances were continuing to be exchanged and Rodrigo was looking to build on his good start tot the season, flashing a shot just wide.
