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.

WIDE!! Leicester almost respond immediately from the set piece. Maddison whips in a devilish cross to the back post. Kepa flaps at it and misses it but Amartey is unable to get enough contact on the ball and his header goes agonisingly wide of the post.
