Chelsea defeats Leicester 1-0, enters Premier League top four

Chelsea secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Leicester City at Stamford Bridge, propelling them into fourth place in the Premier League, two points ahead of Manchester City. The match featured a missed penalty by Cole Palmer, whose spot-kick was saved by Leicester's Mads Hermansen, marking the first failure of his career from the penalty spot. Marc Cucurella ultimately broke the deadlock with a stunning goal in the 60th minute, ensuring Chelsea's win amid a lackluster performance. Leicester, struggling at the bottom of the table, could not convert their few chances into goals, remaining entrenched in 19th place. Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca expressed the need for improvement despite the victory, as they aim to secure a Champions League spot for next season. Chelsea will face Arsenal next week as they continue their pursuit of top-four finish.
