Giroud, who scored all four of Chelsea’s goals during the week in a Champions League victory over Seville, equalized with an instinctive close-range finish just before the half-hour.

As Kurt Zouma headed in from a corner, Chelsea went ahead and the hosts finished Leeds off thanks to Christian Pulisic in stoppage time.
