LONDON:
Chelsea overcame second-tier Leeds United 3-2 to reach the FA Cup quarterfinals thanks to Conor Gallagher’s 90th-minute winning goal on Wednesday.

Leeds took the lead in the eighth minute after a Chelsea defensive mix-up playing out from a goal kick allowed Mateo Joseph to score his first senior goal for the visitors.

Chelsea replied with two goals from flowing moves in the 15th and 37th minutes and fine finishes from Senegal’s Nicolas Jackson and Ukrainian Mykhailo Mudryk. Joseph scored his second in the 59th with a free header.

Chelsea substitute Gallagher latched on to a pass from Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez in the last minute to turn and shoot home to take Chelsea into the last eight where they will meet Championship side Leicester City.
