Leicester 1-2 Chelsea: The Blues narrowly secured a thrilling Premier League match against Leicester, continuing the momentum for Enzo Maresca.

In a thrilling encounter at the King Power Stadium, Chelsea secured a convincing 2-1 victory over Leicester City, marking a triumphant return for manager Enzo Maresca. The win sees Chelsea inch closer to the top of the Premier League table, now just a point behind second-placed Manchester City.

Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring for the visitors with a stunning finish just 15 minutes into the match. The young forward showcased his talent with a strike that left Leicester’s defence scrambling. Chelsea continued to dominate the game, and their persistence paid off again when Enzo Fernández headed home the second goal in the 75th minute, further solidifying their control over the match.

Despite Chelsea’s commanding performance, Leicester managed to grab a late consolation goal. Jordan Ayew converted a penalty deep into added time after VAR intervened to rule that Bobby De Cordova-Reid had been brought down by Romeo Lavia. However, this late strike did little to mask the reality of the game, as Leicester struggled to keep pace with a Chelsea side that was clearly in the ascendancy.

The result leaves Steve Cooper’s Leicester in a precarious position, sitting 15th in the Premier League table after 12 matches. They are now just three points clear of Crystal Palace, who occupy a spot in the relegation zone.

With the season still in its early stages, the pressure is mounting for Leicester to find their form and climb away from the danger zone.
