Chelsea Return to Top 4 With Slim Win Over Sinking Leicester City

Chelsea moved back into the Premier League top four as MARC CUCURELLA‘S second-half strike sealed a scrappy win against Leicester City at Stamford Bridge.

It was the Spain left-back’s fifth goal of the season – and second in successive league games after netting against Southampton.

CUCURELLA’S crucial goal came on the hour mark, beating visiting keeper MADS HERMANSEN with a left-footed effort from 25 yards.

Chelsea had been frustrated until then, with Hermansen saving Cole Palmer’s penalty midway through the first half following a trip on JADON SANCHO by VICTOR KRISTIANSEN.

The miss ended Palmer’s 100 percent record from the spot – having scored his previous 12 – and prolonged the playmaker’s goalless run to nine matches in all competitions.
