Leicester, United Kingdom: Chelsea survived a late Leicester rally to win 2-1 on Enzo Maresca's return to the King Power Stadium on Saturday, moving just a point behind second-placed Manchester City in the Premier League.
The visitors, finding their groove after the international break, hogged the ball from the kick-off and Nicolas Jackson gave them a deserved early lead.
But they failed to make the most of their superiority until 15 minutes from time, when Enzo Fernandez scored to make it 2-0, before surviving a nervy few minutes after Jordan Ayew pulled a goal back for the home side.
Chelsea's win, which came after two draws, lifts them to 22 points -- one behind City and three clear of fourth-placed Arsenal ahead of the later kick-offs on Saturday.
It was Maresca's first game at the King Power since he took Leicester back to the Premier League last season in his only campaign at the club.
