Xabi Alonso Takes Responsibility for Chelsea’s Slow Start in 6-3 Win Over Leeds

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has accepted responsibility for his side’s poor first-half display in their 6-3 Carabao Cup victory over Leeds United at Stamford Bridge.

Alonso also highlighted the growing understanding between Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer as important for Chelsea’s attack.
