Potter’s team had not won since January 15 and were forced to defend heavily in the second half as Leeds, who had only collected six points away from home all year, looked for an equaliser.

In the first half, Chelsea had two excellent opportunities, including one in the 15th minute when Kai Havertz, who had been put through on goal, delayed half a second too long to fire and had his chip superbly saved by advancing goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
Joao Felix received the ball from Raheem Sterling seven minutes later, but his effort struck the crossbar. Fofana headed over the bar from a corner, and Joao Felix also missed with a shot after a Chilwell cross.

Chilwell made the difference for Chelsea and participated in the most of their risky plays together with Joao Felix and Sterling;, Midway through the second half, after Potter took off Sterling and Joao Felix, Leeds drove forward but ultimately came up empty, pinning the home team back.
Both Weston McKennie and the captain, Luke Ayling, missed their second-half attempts. Meslier joined his teammates for a corner in stoppage time and connected with the ball, but his powerful header sailed straight into Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga’s arms.
A boost before their second leg Champions League match against Dortmund at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, where they must score twice to overturn a 1-0 deficit, the tight and less than convincing victory puts Chelsea in 10th place.
