Chelsea slip up to draw 2-2 with Leeds in the Premier League

By Canadian Press on February 10, 2026.

Chelsea blew a two-goal lead at home to draw 2-2 with Leeds in the Premier League on Tuesday as Liam Rosenior dropped points for the first time since taking over at Stamford Bridge.

Lukas Nmecha and Noah Okafor sealed the comeback for Leeds, which dealt a blow to Chelsea’s hopes of Champions League qualification.

Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer from the penalty spot seemed to put Rosenior on course for a fifth-straight league win. But Chelsea was stunned by two goals in the space of six minutes from in-form Leeds and had to settle for a point.

Tottenham is being sucked into a relegation battle after a 2-1 home loss to Newcastle.

The pressure is building on coach Thomas Frank, whose team is still to win a league game in 2026.

Newcastle ended a three-game losing run in the league. Jacob Ramsey slid a winner into the bottom corner from close range in the 68 minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Malick Thiaw put Newcastle ahead in first-half stoppage time.

Archie Gray gave Spurs hope in the 64th, but Ramsey sealed the points for the visitor shortly after.

Bournemouth scored twice in the space of three minutes to come back from a goal down to beat Everton 2-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Iliman Ndiaye’s penalty before the break gave the home team the lead, but Rayan leveled in the 61st and Amine Adli scored the winner three minutes later.
