It was return day at Leicester for Enzo Maresca. Now on the Chelsea bench, the Italian technician brought the Foxes back to the Premier League last season. This Saturday, he had to win another victory at Leicester to allow the Blues to stay in contact with Manchester City in the standings. Very quickly, the London club gained the upper hand over the locals. While Harry Winks was injured quickly (10th), Chelsea took the lead thanks to a lethal Nicolas Jackson who took advantage of Wout Faes’ uncertainty to open the scoring (0-1, 16th).
Dominant, the teammates of Noni Madueke, who saw a goal denied to him (34th), reigned in the first period against the timid locals but who had a burst of pride at the end of the first act. Returning from the locker room, Chelsea continued to have control over the match and Cole Palmer was close to making the break (54th). Finally, this second goal came at the start of the last quarter of an hour and was the work of Enzo Fernández (0-2, 75th). At the end of the match, Jordan Ayew reduced the gap from the penalty spot (1-2, 90+4th). With this well-constructed and absolutely deserved success, Chelsea continue their march forward. The Blues are third. For its part, Leicester remains in a worrying sixteenth place.
