Chelsea’s revival has continued with a third victory in a row as they smashed struggling Leicester City to hand them a fifth consecutive defeat.
Motivated by their Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea started brightly with a Ben Chilwell volley from a tight angle to convert from Koulibaly’s cross against his old club.
Chelsea’s Joao Felix and Leicester’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall hit the woodwork in the space of two minutes, and Felix had a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee for offside.
Patson Daka rifled home an excellent equaliser after Ricardo Pereira won the ball off the Felix outside the box.
Kai Havertz made no mistake six minutes into first-half injury time with an excellent dinked finish from Enzo Fernandez’s clever through ball.
Mykhailo Mudryk thought he had his first goal for the Blues after the break but his effort was disallowed for offside.
Mateo Kovacic sealed the win as he volleyed in from Mudryk’s header.
