Leeds United supporters have hailed their 3-0 win over Chelsea as their best victory since returning to the Premier League in 2020.
The Whites beat Chelsea for the first time in 20 years to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season. Leeds lost all 12 of their games against the so-called 'big six' last season, but they made light work of Thomas Tuchel's side.
Brenden Aaronson pounced on a terrible error from goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to put Leeds ahead, before the in-form Rodrigo nodded in his fourth goal of the season to double the advantage. Jack Harrison prodded home the Whites' third goal in the second-half to give Leeds a memorable win.

Kalidou Koulibaly was shown a red card for the visitors with six minutes to play, as the hosts kept their first clean sheet at Elland Road since last November.
Here's how Leeds United fans on social media reacted to the shock victory:
@Marcin360: "Did not see that coming in my wildest dreams."
@CharlieSmith118: "Wow. 12 losses against the ‘Big Six’ last season makes this even better."
@LeeForgrave: "Outworked and outplayed Chelsea.... Jack Harrison unbelievable."
@ADDrakeley: "Might be overreacting but that might genuinely be one of the best Leeds games I’ve watched live."
@andrey_belt: "What a win! Rodrigo and Harrison linking up superbly up front, Aaronson a pest (in a good way) and everyone contributing brilliantly to the game plan. My favourite though was Adams. Constantly pressing and doing the horrible stuff to set the platform for others."
@john_lufc1919: "Absolutely dominant performance."
@MathewForth: "Brilliant from start to finish. Absolutely battered them.... Certainly didn't see that coming. How good is Tyler Adams btw?!"
@Damien_Cms: "Brilliant team performance. Outworked, outplayed and outran a quality Chelsea side. The quality of our set-pieces so far this season has been excellent. Harrison was outstanding and his deliveries and dribbling have been first class in recent games. Well done to all involved."
@JMPederick: "Unbelievable performance! Super Leeds!
@davemcilroy1979: "Absolute perfection, everyone was fantastic."
@OlliePop43: "What a win, our best since being back in the PL for me. Marsch really putting his stamp on the team and new signings settled in perfectly. Consider me very optimistic."
