Cucurella lifts Chelsea into Premier League top four with victory over Leicester

News summary

Chelsea secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Leicester City at Stamford Bridge, with Marc Cucurella scoring a stunning long-range goal in the 60th minute. The match was characterized by a lack of creativity from Chelsea, who struggled to break down a Leicester side that has been in a downward spiral. Cole Palmer missed a penalty in the first half, extending his goal drought to nine matches, while Leicester nearly capitalized on a defensive error but ultimately lacked the quality to threaten Chelsea meaningfully. Despite the win, Chelsea's performance raised concerns among fans about Enzo Maresca's possession-heavy style. The result moved Chelsea into the top four, two points ahead of Manchester City, while Leicester remains entrenched in the relegation zone. This victory is crucial for Chelsea's aspirations to qualify for the Champions League next season.
