Former Chelsea captain, John Terry, has criticized the current squad following a 3-1 defeat to Leeds United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin extended Leeds' advantage after capitalizing on a defensive mistake to secure the win.

This result leaves Enzo Maresca’s team nine points behind league leaders Arsenal.

“You either go there and match them or completely take the sting out of it, and from what I saw, we certainly didn’t do that in the first half,” Terry stated in a video shared on TikTok.

“We cannot follow up two outstanding performances with a display like that. It’s certainly not going to position you as title contenders.”
