Falling two goals behind when Brendon Aaronson struck after 47 minutes to add to Tarik Muharemovic's opener, it appeared Xabi Alonso's first real cup test would end in disappointment despite the half-time introduction of Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, Pedro Neto and Reece James. - Got Sky?

There was little time for the Blues to enjoy their cushion, as chaos once again reigned supreme over control and Leeds continued to create chances before Dominic Calvert-Lewin pulled them back to within a goal with 15 minutes to go. It was still uncertain that Chelsea had finally sealed their progress when Barco blasted them 5-3 up from close range from another Rogers assist, but they could finally rest easy in added time - and extinguish Leeds' commendable never-say-die attitude - when Welbeck nodded Barco's wildly mishit effort beyond Zetterer. If there was ever a goal to sum up a game, this was it. Alonso was handed another clear indication of where his side remain lacking - but for now, chaos isn't serving them too badly.
