While the Champions League is in its first round, the third round of the English League Cup (Carabao Cup) has begun.

Chelsea defeated Leeds United 6-3 in a very high-scoring match.

The visitors from Leeds were leading by two goals (0-2) after the first 48 minutes, but the players who came onto the pitch after the first half helped the "aristocrats" significantly.

In the 53rd minute, Cole Palmer reduced the score from the penalty spot, and two minutes later he equalized.

In the 60th minute, Pedro Neto put the hosts ahead. Just 5 minutes later, Danny Welbeck managed to double the advantage, and after coming on as a substitute, Morgan Rogers provided 3 assists during this period.

Another goal from D. Welbeck and a precise shot from Valentino Barco ended Leeds United's suffering. Their consolation goal was scored by Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
