Chelsea beat Leicester 2-1 at the King Power Stadium to remain in third and in the Champions League spots.
Nicolas Jackson's smart finish after 15 minutes opened the scoring at the King Power Stadium in a dominant first half for the Blues on Enzo Maresca's return to the Foxes.
Controversy struck eight minutes later when Wilfred Ndidi was booked for a reckless challenge that left Cole Palmer in agony.
Chelsea continued their dominance in the second-half and eventually doubled their lead thanks to a close-range header by Enzo Fernandez in the 75th minute.
