Chelsea secured a 2-1 victory over Leicester City in a Premier League match at the King Power Stadium, marking manager Enzo Maresca's return to his former club. Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring for Chelsea after combining with Enzo Fernandez, who provided the assist. This marked Jackson's seventh league goal this season. Enzo Fernandez doubled the lead in the 75th minute, scoring his first goal of the season and achieving his first goal and assist in a single Premier League game. Leicester City's Jordan Ayew scored a late consolation goal from the penalty spot after a VAR review, following a controversial earlier decision when a penalty was not awarded after Fofana challenged Mavididi. Chelsea held on to claim all three points.
