Chelsea have climbed into sixth in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Leicester City. Raheem Sterling guided the Blues back to winning ways with a delightful double, but Conor Gallagher's first-half red card tarnished what was set to be the perfect afternoon.
The 22-year-old midfielder was granted a second successive start by Thomas Tuchel as the Foxes looked to record their first win of the Premier League season at Stamford Bridge. Gallagher was shown his first yellow after clipping Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Just over five minutes later, the Chelsea midfielder was shown a second for a foul on Harvey Barnes after a loose pass from Marc Cucurella unwittingly set the winger free. The Cobham graduate's marching orders is the second successive red-card shown to a Chelsea player after Kalidou Koulibaly was sent offer versus Leeds United at Elland Road last weekend.
