Chelsea came from behind to beat Leeds 6-3 in the Carabao Cup third round at Stamford Bridge. Leeds led 2-0 after goals from Tarik Muharemovic and Brenden Aaronson, but Xabi Alonso's halftime substitutions changed the game. Cole Palmer scored twice in two minutes, including a penalty, and Pedro Neto added a third to complete a six-minute turnaround. Danny Welbeck and Dominic Calvert-Lewin extended the lead before Valentín Barco scored his first goal for the club. Welbeck headed a sixth in stoppage time.

The win highlighted Chelsea's attacking depth but also their defensive fragility.
