Chelsea could have gone 1-0 up in the space of five minutes as Ben Chilwell shot hit the crossbar.

But they will however take the lead in the 14th minute as Rudiger powered home a header from Chilwell's corner.

Minutes later, it was 2-0 as Kante found space to shoot from outside the box before firing an effort past Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

In a first half that was one-sided, Chelsea could have extended their lead but Schmeichel dived well to deny Chilwell after which Hudson-Odoi fired just over the bar from the box.

The first half ended 2-0 with Leicester City failing to produce a shot on goal.

Leicester City became more competitive at the start of the second half as Mendy did very well to keep out a James Maddison shot before producing an acrobatic save to stop a goal-bound Daniel Amartey shot.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel immediately made substitutions as he feared a collapse bringing on Hakim Ziyech for Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic for Mason Mount.

A few minutes later, the two substitutes combined to secure all three points for Chelsea.

Ziyech fed Pulisic with a fine ball as the American made no mistake from close range to extend Chelsea's lead in the 71st minute.

Chelsea thought they had a fourth as Reece James powered home from close range but the linesman flag was up for offside.

At 3-0, it was done and dusted for Leicester City as Chelsea held on to claim a vital win on the road.

Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy was also drawn into the conversation as his face was added to stories written about the City star.

The Senegalese goalkeeper condemned the story and believes it showed that racism still exists in England and France.
