Chelsea send Premier League relegation jibe to old rivals Leeds – ‘Life comes at you fast’
Sam Allardyce’s side needed to beat Tottenham while hoping neither of Leicester or Everton picked up points on the final day of the season.
The Yorkshire side duly lost 4-1 at home to Spurs to bring an end to their three-year stint in the top flight.
While the last two seasons have seen Leeds battle relegation, they have produced some big results during their latest Premier League run.
Not only did the iconic Marcelo Bielsa lead them to ninth in the first season following promotion, they beat the Blues in resounding fashion back in August.
Then under the tutelage of Jesse Marsch, Leeds thrashed Thomas Tuchel’s side 3-0 at Elland Road little under a year ago.
Such is the rivalry between the two clubs stemming in part from the gruesome 1970 FA Cup final, the Leeds official Twitter account posted a screenshot of their first two goals that day captioned: “Life comes at you fast.”
In response to the post many months ago, the Chelsea admin fired back: “It certainly does.”
