It soon became 2-0 in favor of Chelsea in the 28th minute when N’golo Konte scored from a through pass from Reece James. 

Leicester had decent ball possession in the first half but were unable to test the Chelsea keeper, as they had no shot on target.  

The second half resumed with Chelsea still dominating possession and goal mouth action.
