    MAN OF THE MATCH?

    Rudiger and Jorginho fire Chelsea into third

    Second-half goals from Antonio Rudiger and Jorginho earned Chelsea a crucial victory over Leicester City that took them above their visitors into third place. 

    Chelsea had the better of the first-half chances at Stamford Bridge, with Ben Chilwell firing across goal early on and Timo Werner having one goal disallowed for handball and another for offside. 

    Rudiger eventually broke the deadlock two minutes after the break, tucking the ball home after Chilwell's corner was deflected into his path. 

    The hosts were then awarded a penalty after a Video Assistant Referee review for a Wesley Fofana foul on Werner, which had originally been awarded as a free-kick. Jorginho sent Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way from 12 yards. 

    Leicester substitute Kelechi Iheanacho benefited from Wilfred Ndidi's pressing to reduce the arrears 14 minutes from time and Ayoze Perez had a presentable late chance to grab an equaliser, but he fired over.

    Chelsea held on to claim a victory that takes their points tally to 67, one more than Leicester's 66.

    The Foxes slip to fourth with one match remaining, and will drop to fifth if Liverpool beat Burnley on Wednesday.
