The Premier League published a terse statement on Tuesday night explaining why Leeds United’s second goal was allowed to stand as they held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw.
The goal was not cancelled despite protests about a Jayden Bogle handball in the build-up.
Chelsea took a two-goal lead in the match, thanks to goals from Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer.
Leeds pulled one back through a penalty from Lukas Nmecha, before Noah Okafor levelled from close range with 17 minutes left.https://urbanexpresslive.com/why-premier-league-released-statement-on-controversial-leeds-goals-in-2-2-draw-with-chelsea/
