Kai Havertz is Chelsea’s top scorer this season on eight goals in all competitions
\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Chelsea\u2019s mini-revival continued with a third victory in a row as they consigned struggling Leicester City to a fifth consecutive defeat.<\/p>\n

Buoyed by their Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea started brightly and Ben Chilwell volleyed in from a tight angle against his old club.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s Joao Felix and Leicester\u2019s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall hit the woodwork in the space of two minutes, then Felix had a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee for offside.<\/p>\n

Patson Daka rifled home an excellent equaliser after Ricardo Pereira won the ball off the dawdling Felix outside the box.<\/p>\n

But Kai Havertz pounced six minutes into first-half injury time with an excellent dinked finish from Enzo Fernandez\u2019s clever aerial ball.<\/p>\n

Mykhailo Mudryk thought he had his first goal for the Blues after the break but his effort was disallowed for offside.<\/p>\n

Mateo Kovacic sealed the win as he volleyed in from Mudryk\u2019s header.<\/p>\n

The sliding Foxes, who ended with 10 men following Wout Faes\u2019 late dismissal for a second booking, now just sit one point outside the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
