Leeds United managing director Robbie Evans has revealed the club and manager Daniel Farke are making strong progress towards a new long-term contract. With the German head coach in the final year of his current deal, the Elland Road hierarchy insist there is no need to rush negotiations.

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has taken full responsibility for a disjointed performance that saw his side fall two goals behind against Leeds United before rallying for a remarkable Carabao Cup victory. The Blues boss admitted he made life "too difficult" for his rotated squad after making nine changes for the midweek clash at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea survived a massive scare in the Carabao Cup third round as they roared back from two goals down to secure a chaotic 6-3 victory over Leeds. Despite providing three crucial assists off the bench to orchestrate the revival, £117 million signing Morgan Rogers watched his close friend Cole Palmer walk away with the Player of the Match accolade. The playmaker playfully slammed the decision as 'criminal', sparking a hilarious post-match exchange between the team-mates.

Chelsea staged a stunning second-half comeback at Stamford Bridge, scoring four goals in 12 minutes to beat Leeds United 6-3 in the Carabao Cup third round. Trailing 1-0 at the break, Xabi Alonso made four half-time substitutions as Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto turned the frantic nine-goal thriller upside down.
