Leeds United’s 3-1 win over Chelsea has lifted the doom and gloom around Elland Road, with Piers Morgan delighted with the result. The three points picked the Whites out of the relegation zone, and pundits are again excited about watching them at home.
Daniel Farke provided a resounding answer to all his critics on Wednesday night. His side beat an in-form Chelsea side and ensured that they are again looking like a serious team, especially at home.
Leeds are out of the relegation zone for the time being, and have another home game lined up this weekend when Liverpool visit Elland Road, which is worrying some former Reds stars such as Michael Owen.
Chelsea’s defeat at Leeds also dented their hopes of being Premier League contenders this season, delighting several opposition fans.

Gary Neville poured praise towards Leeds for their performance at home on Wednesday night and feels Elland Road gives the Whites a real chance of survival.
He conceded that he is looking forward to returning to Elland Road to watch Liverpool face the music against Leeds on Saturday.
“Leeds have been excellent. They look like a real tough team to play against tonight, and in front of this crowd, it gives them a real chance this season”, Neville said on Sky Sports.
“Chelsea clearly did not prepare for what Elland Road is about. They have been taught a harsh lesson here tonight that in the Premier League, you have to be ready.
“But Leeds tonight were excellent, they needed this, the manager needed this. It gives them something to build on this season, and next, they have Liverpool.
“I’m looking forward to seeing them against Liverpool on Saturday. Who would have thought I would be looking forward to coming back to Elland Road? But I am, they are going to give it a real go.”
What’s ahead for Leeds?
Leeds sit 17th in the Premier League table, just above the relegation zone. They are still in a fight for survival, but are more positive after the Chelsea win.
However, Leeds still have a tough set of games coming up. Liverpool come to town to take on the Whites at Elland Road on Saturday for a big game.
