Chelsea maintained their third-place position in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Leicester City.

Goals from Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernández in each half gave Chelsea a deserved win, despite a late penalty from Jordan Ayew for Leicester.

The game was a largely uneventful affair, with few chances and lackluster play.

The match began with Chelsea demonstrating their intent, creating several opportunities.

Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring in the 16th minute, capitalizing on errors from Leicester’s defense, clipping a precise right-footer into the net.

Chelsea continued to apply pressure, with Noni Madueke threatening but denied by a fine save from Mads Hermansen.

Leicester came close to equalizing on 38 minutes, but Victor Kristiansen’s effort went wide.

In the second half, Chelsea extended their lead when Jackson’s header was parried into the path of Enzo, who scored from close range.

As the game progressed, Leicester attempted to mount a comeback, yet their efforts were thwarted by a resilient Chelsea defense.

A last-minute penalty awarded to Leicester provided a glimmer of hope, but Ayew’s effort came too late, sealing a deserved victory for Chelsea.
