Chelsea Edges Leicester to Enter Top Four

Chelsea secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Leicester City, propelling them into the Premier League's top four despite an underwhelming performance. Marc Cucurella's 60th-minute goal, assisted by Enzo Fernandez, was the match-winner, as Chelsea struggled with their form and Cole Palmer missed a first-half penalty. Leicester, now facing relegation pressures, were defensively solid but failed to capitalize on opportunities, marking their 12th defeat in the last 13 league matches. Chelsea's win marks their third consecutive victory, placing them two points behind Nottingham Forest and 21 adrift of leaders Liverpool. The win is crucial for Champions League qualification, but Chelsea's inconsistency remains a concern with upcoming challenging fixtures. Meanwhile, Leicester's survival chances are dwindling with a tough lineup of upcoming matches against major teams like Manchester United and Manchester City.
