This Saturday, the 11th, Leicester received Chelsea, at the King Power Stadium, in a match valid for the 27th round of the Premier League. In a complicated and very busy confrontation, the Blues prevailed, won by 3 to 1 and continued the moment of resumption in the competition.
The first stage started busy and, with only ten minutes, Chilwell took advantage of a good cross and sent it to the bottom of the goal. It is worth noting that the winger was formed in the youth categories of Leicester, proving the law of the former. João Felix tried to expand, but hit the post and when he scored he was in an offside position.
So, in the 38th minute, Leicester responded with Daka, who took advantage of the error in the Blues’ ball exit, and sent a beautiful finish from outside the area, with no chance for Kepa. However, the tie did not last long, as Havertz put Chelsea ahead again after collecting a great pass from Enzo Fernández. Interval! 2 to 1.
Returning to the second stage, the two teams did not perform similarly to what happened in the first 45 minutes. With a slightly more rhythmic game, Chelsea managed to keep possession of the ball and concede few opportunities to Leicester, who faced many difficulties to attack.
However, as the match progressed, Leicester found some opportunities and put pressure on the Blues’ defense, which had some mistakes, but were lucky not to be leaked again. Mudrik nearly broke through and scored his first Chelsea goal, but the goal was disallowed for offside. However, who scored the third was Kovacic, and it was a great goal. End of the game! 3 to 1.
