Football: Chelsea frustrated by Leeds stalemate

LEEDS: Chelsea missed a chance to cement their place in the Premier League's top four as Leeds held them to a frustrating 0-0 draw on Saturday .

Wednesday's Champions League last 16 second leg against Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge - with Chelsea holding a 1-0 lead - will be another stern test of their renaissance under the former Paris Saint-Germain boss. The poor quality of the Elland Road pitch was almost reminiscent of the battles on fields of mud that defined Chelsea's encounters with Leeds in the 1970s.Pulisic wasn't fazed by the rutted surface as he scampered down the right and whipped over a low cross that Kai Havertz poked straight at Leeds keeper Illan Meslier.

As ever with Leeds and their wide-open style, chances came thick and fast and Roberts was inches away from opening the scoring when Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy tipped his curler onto the bar. But the German forward was back to his diffident worst here and shot tamely at Meslier from Hakim Ziyech's pass.
