Leicester vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Gary Lineker watches on
Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Clinical Chelsea continued their recent revival under Graham Potter - as Gary Lineker watched them breeze past Leicester.
Ben Chilwell grabbed the opener against his former club to set the tone for a 3-1 win and further ease the pressure on Potter.
Kai Havertz’s fine finish restored the visitors’ lead after Patson Daka levelled and Mateo Kovacic’s volley sealed it.
Chelsea forward Joao Felix hit the post and had a goal ruled out by VAR while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall missed a sitter for the hosts before Wout Faes was sent off late on.
A third straight victory, after reaching the Champions League quarter-finals having knocked out Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, should represent the start of the recovery under Potter.

That is a real let-off for Leicester who, despite their back three, have looked open at times at the back. They will need to remain tighter at the back or this star-studded Chelsea attack may well strike again.

OFFSIDE!! Chelsea think they have their second through Felix but the goal is ruled out. The Portuguese striker swept home the cross from Loftus-Cheek's cross but he had strayed a fraction offside and VAR chalks it off.

Daka gives chase down the right flank but Chilwell gets back and recovers well to snuff out the danger.

OFF THE BAR!! It's Leicester's turn to test the woodwork and this time it comes to the aid of Chelsea. The ball falls to Dewsbury-Hall on the edge of the box and his left-footed effort deflects off Koulibaly. Kepa is rooted to the spot but, thankfully for him, the effort crashes off the bar and into his hands.
