Football fans took to Twitter to react to Chelsea's hard-fought win over Leeds United. Here are some of the best tweets from the spectacular showing at Stamford Bridge:

Chelsea secured a hard-fought win over Leeds United. The Yorkshire side took the lead through Raphinha's penalty before Mason Mount equalized for the Blues three minutes before half-time.

The second half was closer than the first. Thomas Tuchel's side took the lead when Jorginho scored a penalty at the 58th-minute mark. However, it looked like Leeds had snatched a point when Joe Gelhardt leveled the game in the 83rd minute.

However, there was one final twist left in the tale. Leeds midfielder Mateusz Klich fouled Antonio Rudiger in the box, which resulted in a 94th-minute penalty that was duly converted by Jorginho.
