Blues bullied & bruised as Farke men find feet

- BY BOBBY VINCENT

LEEDS switched up their formation and had a change of fortune as they picked up their first points since October.

Daniel Farke has been accused of being too stubborn by the Elland Road faithful but his willingness to tinker his tactics led to his side stunning Chelsea.

Leeds supporters had begged under-pressure Farke to keep the wing-back system that worked so well in the second half against Manchester City - and the manager obliged.

Jaka Bijol’s header, Ao Tanaka's super strike and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's tap-in proved that in order to survive in the Premier League, Leeds and Farke must adapt to their strengths.
