Chelsea have now won their last three games following their 3-1 triumph at Leicester City on Saturday afternoon. On what was a freezing cold afternoon at the King Power Stadium, the relegation-threatened Foxes knew there was an opportunity to get at the Blues even though Graham Potter's team had picked up crucial wins against Leeds United and Borussia Dortmund over the last week.
It was fairly even in the opening exchanges but Chelsea took the lead through an emphatic Ben Chilwell volley. The former Leicester left-back was expectedly being booed with every touch, so he made sure the Foxes supporters knew all about his goal when celebrating.
The goal was the latest sign that Chilwell is getting back to somewhere near his best after a torrid time with injuries over the past couple of seasons. The England international has been magnificent over the last three games and put in perhaps the best of all three performances at his previous home.
