The Blues have now lost nine games this season, while Claudio Ranieri’s men moved to the top of the Premier League following their latest hard-fought victory.
Leicester City returned to the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Monday, leaving the defending champions just one point clear of the relegation zone.
Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez did the damage for Claudio Ranieri’s side, both finding the net to take their combined top-flight tally this term to 26 goals – eight more than the entire Chelsea squad have scored in the league.
Second half substitute, Loic Remy pulled one back for the visiting champions in a thrilling encounter that would have seen the under-performing London side move to 14th position on the log if the final result was the other way round.
