Chelsea edged past Leicester City 1-0 to reclaim a top-four spot in the Premier League, thanks to Marc Cucurella’s 60th-minute strike.

Despite dominating possession, Chelsea struggled in attack, with Cole Palmer missing a first-half penalty.

Leicester, battling relegation, threatened on the counter but managed just three shots to Chelsea’s 20.

The win lifts Chelsea to fourth on 49 points, while Leicester remain second-bottom with 17 points.
