Chelsea gave the chasing pack in the race for a place in next season's Champions League hope with a 0-0 draw at Leeds on Saturday, but Everton failed to take advantage as Burnley won 2-1 at Goodison Park. 

Fourth-placed Chelsea remain unbeaten in 12 games since Thomas Tuchel replaced the sacked Frank Lampard, and they kept a 10th clean sheet in that run at Elland Road.

However, the Blues have been far from prolific at the other end despite the wealth of attacking talent at Tuchel's disposal.

"We created enough chances and enough touches in the box to score one or two goals. Unfortunately, we didn't, so we have to live with a draw," said Tuchel.

"We were not clinical enough in our counter-attacks. We take a 0-0."

Tuchel left strikers Timo Werner and Olivier Giroud left on the bench with Kai Havertz keeping his place as a false nine with and the German had his side's best chance with a driven effort then Illan Meslier tipped over.

Leeds lost top scorer Patrick Bamford to injury in the first half but could have claimed victory themselves as Edouard Mendy made brilliant saves to deny Tyler Roberts and Raphinha.

A point edges Chelsea three points clear of West Ham, who have two games in hand.

Karim Benzema saved Real Madrid for the second week running on Saturday, his two goals dragging his team to a 2-1 win over struggling Elche in La Liga.

After Benzema's late equalizer salvaged a draw against Atletico Madrid last weekend, the Frenchman came up trumps again, a brilliant shot flying in off the post in the 91st minute to snatch a crucial victory at Valdebebas.

La Liga's current leader Atletico Madrid slipped up again in La Liga, as they failed to break down 10-man Getafe in a goalless draw that gives further encouragement to Barcelona and Real Madrid in the title race.
