Chelsea returned from the international break with a strong performance at the King Power.
Enzo Maresca led the Chelsea team to a 2-1 victory away at his former home, but it’s a game that should have ended in a far larger margin.
Nicolas Jackson showed resilience and determination coupled with a fine finish to put Chelsea in front after 15 minutes of play.
Noni Madueke had the ball in the net 17 minutes after Jackson’s opener, but VAR ruled it out for offside.
Chelsea continued to dominate play, creating chance after chance. A bizarre scene happened, as Noni Madueke deflected a goal bound Cole Palmer effort away from goal.
Chelsea’s pressure eventually paid off when Enzo Fernandez made it 2-0, as he headed a rebound into the net in the 75th minute.
Chelsea would then concede an unfortunate penalty in stoppage time to end the scores 2-1.
Enzo Maresca will definitely be biting his tongue, considering how Chelsea should have won with an easy victory and a large margin.
