Chelsea recorded a third consecutive Premier League win by beating Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Alvaro Morata scored his first ever Chelsea goal away from Stamford Bridge - his third in total - before N'Golo Kante fired in a long-range strike against his former club.

Jamie Vardy won and converted a penalty just after the hour mark but Chelsea controlled the final third of the match to deny the Foxes hope of completing a comeback.
