Leeds 0-2 Chelsea FC LIVE! Pulisic goal – Premier League match stream, latest score and updates today

Chelsea travel to face Leeds at Elland Road tonight needing a win to help get the club’s form heading back in the right direction.

They look in good shape to do so after 45 minutes, with Mason Mount putting the visitors 1-0 up at half-time. Leeds are once again down to ten-men, after Dan James saw red for a terrible challenge on Mateo Kovacic.

A last-gasp header from Conor Coady gave Wolves a 2-2 at Stamford Bridge over the weekend, as Chelsea threw away a two-goal lead. Thomas Tuchel have won just two of their last seven Premier League matches.

With Arsenal just a point behind the Blues and Tottenham four points further back, a top-four finish is not yet a certainty for Chelsea. With an FA Cup final to come on Saturday, a positive performance and result tonight would come at an ideal time.

They face a Leeds side though who are desperately in need of points themselves. Leeds sit in the relegation zone with three matches to go, and it will take a monumental effort for that to change tonight.

73 mins: Match might feel like it is won, but Tuchel is still as animated as ever. Screaming at his players when there’s any hint of sloppiness.

A Leeds goal now would certainly change how this match looked…

Tuchel may look to make at least one more change now the game looks to be won. Does he want to risk injury to someone like Reece James ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup Final? It’s notable that Azpilicueta is doing some extensive warm ups.

70 mins: A Leeds attack! Rodrigo brings the ball forward and plays it wide to Firpo.

He whips the cross in with plenty of pace, Raphinha heads it well over the bar. Their best moment in quite some time.

68 mins: Mount wide to James, his cut-back into the box is deflected behind for a corner.

It will be Mount to take… barely gets off the ground. Will assume that wasn’t quite the plan.

65 mins: Lukaku wants his goal!

He rolls Cooper and he’s away, driving towards the box. Pulisic is screaming for it, Lukaku works it onto his left foot though and goes for goal from outside the box himself. Drags it wide.

62 mins: Leeds cannot put more than a couple of passes together – their focus probably has to now turn to their final two league matches.

Tuchel meanwhile can rest whoever he wants for the last 30 minutes, should he want to look ahead to the FA Cup final.

59 mins: Chelsea win it back high up the pitch, Pulisic curls an effort at goal… just wide.

This could be any score Chelsea want. Klich on to replace Bate for Leeds.

That was a beautifully-worked goal from Chelsea, with a finish from Pulisic to rival Mount’s opener.

Amid the chaos of Leeds’ tackling, Chelsea have injected calm authority into this game.

Now it should be a case of just seeing it out and hoping to avoid any further reckless challenges from their desperate opponents.

57 mins: Game being played at walking pace now, Leeds look to have accepted their fate.

Still 35 minutes left… Chelsea should be able to enjoy every single one of them.

THERE’S THE SECOND!

Superb move and that should really be that. James plays the ball inside to Jorginho, who finds Mount on the edge of the box.

Brilliant flick to lay it off to Pulisic, and he then curls a low effort into the corner. Meslier had no chance.
