Chelsea continue the rise with 3-1 over Leicester

Chelsea got their third straight win in a week after beating Leicester 3-1 in Premier League. Last Saturday they won 1-0 against Leeds before their Champions League progress to the quarter-finals in Champions League.

The London side opened the scoring in the 11th minute thanks to Ben Chilwell’s perfect strike after Koulibaly cross.

A little over half an hour of play Ruben Loftus-Cheek passed to Joao Felix, who unleashed a terrific shot from range leaving Ward no time to react, but VAR checked the goal and disallowed it due to an offside.

In the 39th minutes Leicester got their goal after Patson Daka incredible shot into the right side of the net for 1-1.

Chelsea didn’t wait long and got their advantage back through Kai Havertz who got on the end of lofted pass from Enzo Fernandez and easily lobbed the goalkeeper.
