    FT: Leicester 0-3 Chelsea! All over at the KP Stadium and Chelsea got an easy win thanks to first half goals from Rudiger and Kante and then a Pulisic goal in the second half when Leicester through men forward. Chelsea also had three goals disallowed. Leicester did nothing in the first half apart from a disallowed and despite forcing two great saves out of Mendy in the second 45, it was too late. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
