Chelsea star emerges as a scoring force amid attacking crisis to further highlight importance - Enzo Maresca’s late tactical tweak reaped its reward as Chelsea beat Leicester to bolster their Champion

Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister reacted after Marc Cucurella's stunning strike as Chelsea beat Leicester City 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are back into the top-four in the Premier League table following a 1-0 win over Leicester. The Blues weren’t quite at their best at Stamford Bridge and needed a fine strike from Marc Cucurella to finally find a way past Mads Hermansen after the Foxes goalkeeper had saved a penalty from Cole Palmer.

Chelsea clinched a narrow 1-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League to climb into the top four and boost their Champions League qualification hopes.

Having beaten Southampton 4-0 last time out in the Premier League, Enzo Maresca’s team made it back-to-back victories over relegation-threatened sides at Stamford Bridge, although they were made to work hard for all three points against Leicester, who repelled and frustrated them for long spells.
