Premier League Round 12 Results: Chelsea Easily Beats Newly Promoted Team

The first match of round 12 of the Premier League was the clash between Leicester City and Chelsea at King Power Stadium. The home team was underestimated and was also unlucky. In the 11th minute, midfielder Harry Winks had to leave the field early due to injury. This incident significantly affected Leicester's calculations for the rest of the match.

On the other side of the front line, Chelsea arranged a squad that leaned heavily on attack because they really needed 3 points. Jadon Sancho was still absent but The Blues were not affected. Noni Madueke or Cole Palmer still showed great influence on the attacking front. Meanwhile, Enzo Fernandez played explosively on his return to the starting lineup, opening up opportunities for his teammates up front.

In the 15th minute, receiving a pass from the Argentine midfielder, Nicolas Jackson surpassed Faes of Leicester City and fired a tricky shot to open the scoring for the visitors. This goal helped Chelsea's fighting spirit improve significantly. In the second half of the first half, Noni Madueke was given many opportunities. This midfielder shot over the bar once and into the net once, but the goal was not recognized.

The attack played impressively but Chelsea's defense still exposed many dangerous gaps. In the last 5 minutes of the first half, McAteer and Ndidi had 2 very dangerous shots but were unlucky to score an equalizer. The first 45 minutes passed with the advantage for Chelsea.

In the second half, coach Maresca asked his players to continue to attack and maintain pressure on Leicester City's goal. In the 54th minute, Cole Palmer almost scored but his kick hit his teammate Madueke at close range.

However, Chelsea fans did not have to wait long. After many attempts to attack, Chelsea got what they needed. In the 75th minute, from a great pass from Marc Cucurella, Jackson jumped high to head the ball but goalkeeper Harmansen successfully blocked it. Enzo Fernandez rushed in to head the ball to increase the score to 2-0.

In the 90+5 minute, Jordan Ayew unexpectedly scored a goal to reduce the score to 1-2 for Leicester from the 11-meter penalty spot. But that was all the home team could do, Chelsea won the match.
