Comments:

League position: 1st Chelsea were now unbeaten in their last nine games in the Premier League (won five). The Blues had now scored 25 goals after 11 games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team. Aged 34 years and 66 days, Olivier Giroud became the oldest player to score in six consecutive starting appearances in Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 13th Leeds United had won all of the previous 25 games in all competitions under manager Marcelo Bielsa when they had scored the opening goal in an away game. The Whites had now won on one of their last 22 league visits to London (lost 15). Goalscorer Patrick Bamford failed to make a senior appearance as a Chelsea player during his five years at Stamford Bridge (January 2012 to January 2017).
