'Far from dominant' - National media reacts as Chelsea win vs Leicester eases Potter sack talk

Chelsea have won three games in a row in all competitions as they continue to ease the pressure facing manager Graham Potter. The Blues endured a dismal run of form in all competitions prior to the 1-0 win against Leeds last week, before following that up with a 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League - booking their place in the last eight with a 2-1 aggregate victory.

It was fairly even in the opening exchanges but Chelsea took the lead through an emphatic Ben Chilwell volley against his former team. The Blues left-back was booed with every touch, so he made sure the Foxes supporters knew all about his goal when celebrating.

Joao Felix had an effort ruled out for offside before the Atletico Madrid loanee lost the ball cheaply on the edge of his penalty box, allowing Patson Daka to capitalise and equalise. Kai Havertz scored his second goal in two games with a delicate chip on the stroke of half-time, before Mateo Kovacic sealed the three points with a clever volleyed finish in the second half.
