Leicester City vs Chelsea Highlights
Chelsea snapped an eight-game winless away streak in the Premier League by beating Leicester City 3-1 at the King Power Stadium, inflicting the Foxes with their fifth consecutive loss across all competitions.
The Blues aimed for their third consecutive win, opening the score with a volley from Ben Chilwell in the 11th minute. JoĆ£o FĆ©lix came close to doubling their lead but hit the post, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s deflected shot for the Foxes hit the crossbar. Kepa Arrizabalaga remained rooted to the spot.
After Graham Potter’s team saw JoĆ£o FĆ©lix’s goal ruled offside by VAR, Leicester quickly responded as Patson Daka scored from the edge of the box, taking advantage of an error from FĆ©lix. However, Chelsea restored their lead before half-time when Kai Havertz flicked a delicate lob over Danny Ward from a clever Enzo FernĆ”ndez pass.
After the break, Leicester City survived a goalline clearance, and Brendan Rodgers made a triple change in search of a second equaliser. Mykhailo Mudryk was denied his first Premier League goal due to another offside decision, but he later set up Mateo KovaÄiÄ’s volley with a cushioned header to secure a 2-0 victory for Graham Potter’s side.
Wout Faes was shown a second yellow card in the closing stages of the game, reducing Leicester to ten men, as Chelsea secured a deserved away win that put them just five points away from the top-five.
