Despite being billed as a close affair, Chelsea ran out comfortable 3-0 winners over Leicester City.
Last season’s Premier League Champions have been far from convincing this season. Leicester lost only three games throughout last season but have already lost to Manchester United, Liverpool and now Chelsea.
Chelsea started strongly and were rewarded for their fine football when Leicester defenders failed to mark him in the eight minute.
Alone in space after a corner was poorly dealt with, Costa made no mistake as he beat the keeper.
Chelsea maintained their chokehold on the game as Victor Moses and Kante ran rings around Leicester defenders.
The second goal came before the end of the first half when a defensive mix up saw the ball fall to Hazard who rounded the keeper to slot home.
By the second half, the game was as good as over and despite the introduction of Slimani and Mahrez, the Foxes couldn’t find a way back.
Victor Moses settle the game late on with a beautifully taken third goal to send the Blues way out of sight.
Ranieri will have a few worries if the Foxes don’t find their footing and might well see his team be the worst defending champions in the Premier league.
