Chelsea Crushes Leicester 2-0 at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea comfortably defeated Leicester City 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in London on March 9th, 2025, in a Premier League matchday 28 encounter. The scoreline, however, doesn’t fully capture Chelsea’s dominance.
Cole Palmer opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a bizarre own-goal from a missed penalty, assisting himself. Marc Cucurella added the second in the 60th minute, expertly assisted by Enzo Fernandez.
