In a concerning incident during Chelsea’s FA Cup fifth-round match against Leeds United, a visiting Leeds fan required medical treatment after falling from the top tier of the stands at Stamford Bridge. The supporter was celebrating Leeds United’s opening goal when the fall occurred, prompting medics and police to rush to the scene.
