Chelsea claimed the win in the game against Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday. The team won 2-1 at King Power Stadium.
Chelsea started the match well and took the lead early when Nicolas Jackson netted after 15 minutes, with an assist by Enzo Fernández, making it 1-0.
It took until the 75th minute before Enzo Fernández increased the lead.
The goal that reduced the score to 2-1 came in extra time, when Jordan Ayew found the net for Leicester City.
The game was the fourth in a row without a win for Leicester City.
Leicester City are in 16th place after the game, while Chelsea are in third.
Ayew’s goal came from the penalty spot after an earlier call was waved off without a review on the pitchside monitor.
‘In the second half, we could have done more in the final third, but we did create the first penalty decision and the second,’ Steve Cooper said after the loss.
‘It’s about capitalising on your moments. If it is moments like refereeing decisions, you hope they’re dealt with in the right way,’ he added.
Leicester City’s next Premier League games are against Brentford (away) on 30 November, Leicester City (home) on 3 December and Brighton & Hove Albion (home) on 8 December. Chelsea play Aston Villa (home) on 1 December, Southampton (away) on 4 December and Tottenham Hotspur (away) on 8 December.
