Chelsea's Premier League title hopes suffered a major setback with a humbling 3-1 defeat at Leeds United on Wednesday, which lifted the hosts out of the relegation zone, Reuters reported. 

Leeds came into the game on the back of four consecutive defeats while Chelsea were on a run of three wins in four unbeaten league games but the tables were turned at Elland Road to ease the pressure on home manager Daniel Farke.

"We were so desperate to bring this club back to the top level, and Elland Road was tonight back to its best," Farke told the BBC.
