Chelsea overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Leeds United 6-3 in the EFL Cup third round at Stamford Bridge, securing their place in the fourth round of the competition.
Substitute Cole Palmer scored twice and Morgan Rogers assisted four goals after head coach Xabi Alonso made four half-time substitutions to reverse the team's poor first-half performance.
The victory provides crucial competitive minutes for Chelsea's 27-man squad, as the club navigates a season without European football and aims to keep fringe players engaged through the tournament.
