Tension as Chelsea vs Leeds EPL Cracker Descends Into Chaos After Late Penalty

• It remains unclear what sparked the heated fracas after the full-time whistle at Stamford Bridge
• Leeds' Junior Firpo and Antonio Rudiger were at the centre of the mayhem
• It is understood both teams now risk some form of punishment from the FA

Chelsea vs Leeds United Premier League meeting at Stamford Bridge was marked with chaotic scenes with players involved in a heated post-match fracas.

Tempers flared shortly after the full-time whistle of the Saturday, December 11, encounter that saw the Blues steal a crucial win in the fourth minute of stoppage time after they were awarded a penalty.

Mirror UK reports penalties were the order of the day during the tense meeting, with referee Chris Kavanagh pointing to the spot on three different occasions of the five-goal thriller.

Leeds were the first to be awarded a spot-kick in the first half before Chelsea got their share of two in the second period.

With the scores tied 2-2 deep in the second half, the hosts won a penalty much to the chagrin of Leeds players including goalkeeper Iilan Meslier who was subsequently booked for his behaviour.

Jorginho calmly slotted home the ultimate winner as Marcelo Bielsa's charges missed out on a glorious chance to earn a vital point away from home.

But upon the blow of the full-time whistle, players from both sets of teams were involved in a heated fracas.

While it remains unclear what sparked the brawl, footage of the scene shows Antonio Rudiger who appeared aggravated being restrained by many of his teammates.

Leeds star Junior Firpo was going toe to toe with the Chelsea defender but quickly exited the scene as a number of his teammates continued with the fracas.

It is understood both Chelsea and Leeds now risk some kind of punishment from the FA after the unsavoury scenes.
