Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger was delighted with his influence in their 3-2 win at Leeds.
The German was the victim of a sliding challenge from Leeds' Raphinha and then a foul from Mateusz Klich with both spot-kicks converted by Jorginho, the second a 94th-minute winner.
Rudiger said, "For me it's important just to try to help the team and show who I am. I just thought okay, let's go forward as there is nothing to lose.
"It always feels like a 50-50 game against a team like Leeds. It's never easy because of their high intensity. We try to match it. I really respect their way of playing. They run a lot, they play everywhere on the field man-to-man so it's not easy because they're matching your own game, so to get three points against them is very important after the loss at West Ham."
Rudiger also spoke of the post-match brawl, insisting: "It was just emotion, there was nothing bad after that.
"At the whistle sometimes things get heated a bit but when you go inside you shake hands and everything's good."
