(Video) Dan James shown red for horrendously timed tackle on Mateo Kovacic

Leeds United’s agony has been compounded after falling behind 1-0 in the first five minutes.

Dan James was sent off for a reckless challenge on Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

Jesse Marsch’s Whites are fighting for their Premier League life, and with only three games remaining, including Wednesday’s match against Thomas Tuchel’s Blues, time is running out.

Mason Mount scored the first goal, and with James charging in on Kovacic and seeing red, Marsch must be wondering what he needs to do to get his team going.
