Premier League: Leicester piles more misery on Chelsea to go top of table

The Hindu  

Leicester moved to the top of the Premier League at the midway point of its campaign after a dominant 2-0 victory over Chelsea on Tuesday. Even with Jamie Vardy's goal drought extending to five games, Leicester had enough quality to beat a Chelsea side that has now lost five of its last eight league games to pile the pressure on manager Frank Lampard. Maddison’s 41st-minute goal — his third in his last three games — came just two minutes after VAR overturned a penalty award for Chelsea when replays showed Jonny Evans’ foul on Christian Pulisic came outside the box. Knowing victory would take them back to the top for the first time since November, the Foxes continued to push and Maddison clipped the bar 10 minutes later after Timothy Castagne’s bustling run. Chelsea substitute Timo Werner, without a goal in the Premier League since October, did have the ball in the net when he turned in Hakim Ziyech’s free kick with four minutes left but he was ruled offside.
