Chelsea picked up their first Premier League win away from home since October as they beat Leicester 3-1 at the King Power Stadium. Graham Potter’s side had a rare feeling of confidence coming into the match, after wins over Leeds and Borussia Dortmund, and started in positive fashion.
Ben Chilwell’s superb volley haunted his former side, and although Patson Daka got Leicester level with an impressive strike of his own, Kai Havertz restored the lead with the final kick of the half after a stunning assist from Enzo Fernandez.
The match remained in the balance heading into the final 15 minutes, with both sides having chances to score, before captain Mateo Kovacic did just that. It sealed the win, the third of the week for Chelsea, to continue the significant upturn in the club’s form, with Wout Faes’ late red card capping a miserable afternoon for the Foxes.
