Unfortunate scenes in Leeds United against Chelsea
The last thing anyone wants is for an innocent fan to get injured during a game of football after the news has emerged about what happened to him at Stamford Bridge.
BBC Sport reported that the supporter appeared to fall from the upper deck of the Shed End shortly after Leeds took a 1-0 lead against Chelsea.
There has been no update provided on his condition, but all those associated with the club will be wishing him a speedy recovery.
The Whites put in an excellent performance without some of their key players as Conor Gallagher’s last-minute goal secured a victory for the Premier League side.
Daniel Farke will no doubt be pleased with his players’ efforts, with forward Mateo Joseph scoring twice to stake his claim for more minutes at Elland Road.
