Sterling Scores Brace As 10-Man Chelsea Beat Leicester City in Tough EPL Battle

• Leicester City on Saturday, 27 August, continued with their unimpressive performance in the Premier League
• Brendan Rodgers and his wards were beaten by 10-man Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a tough game
• England international Raheem Sterling scored the two goals that gave Chelsea the win in this encounter

Chelsea on Saturday afternoon, 27 August, produced brilliant and eye-catching performance beating visiting Leicester City 2-1 in a tough Premier League battle despite being one-man down.

Going into this Premier League game, Chelsea players and coaching crew knew that they only thing that can help them get redemption is to beat the Foxes at Stamford Bridge.

This is because many Chelsea fans were still angry about the defeat at Leeds United in which Chelsea were hammered 3-0.

And against Leicester City, Chelsea started the game very agile looking for an early goal, but their opponents were more cautious in the defense.

Things turned sour for Chelsea in the 28th minute when Conor Gallagher was red carded.

When did Chelsea score their goal?

Despite being one-man down, Raheem Sterling gave Chelsea the lead in the 47th minute and doubled the lead for the Blues in the 63rd minute sending all Blues' into serious jubilation.

Harvey Barnes pulled one back for Leicester City in the 66th minute and efforts for the visitors to restore parity proved abortive as it ended 2-1 in favour of Chelsea.

Manchester United End Poor Away Form with Crucial 1-0 Win Over Southampton

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Manchester United ended their torrid away run with a narrow 1-0 win over Southampton in the early kick off on Saturday, August 27.

Bruno Fernandes got the all-important goal early in the second half as David De Gea came up with crucial saves to secure three points for his side.

Southampton will however be proud of their performance, as they constantly threatened United straight down to the final whistle.

Going into the game, United were looking to end a sequence of seven straight Premier League away defeats.

It was hardly vintage performance from United, but Erik Ten Hag will certainly be happy with the improvements that have been made, particularly in defence.

One notable absentee from the game once again was Harry Maguire, who was relegated on the bench for the second successive game.
