Chelsea Narrowly Defeat Leicester but Goalkeeping Concerns Persist

A 2-1 victory keeps Chelsea in third place, but Robert Sanchez's performance raises questions about their title ambitions.

• Chelsea secured a 2-1 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, with goals from Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez.
• Robert Sanchez's erratic goalkeeping caused unnecessary pressure on Chelsea, highlighting a potential weak spot in their squad.
• Leicester's late penalty, converted by Jordan Ayew, denied Chelsea a clean sheet but was not enough to change the outcome.
• Chelsea are now within one point of second-placed Manchester City and six points behind league leaders Liverpool, strengthening their Champions League hopes.
• Manager Enzo Maresca faces decisions on whether to stick with Sanchez or explore alternatives, including backup keeper Filip Jorgensen or potential transfer targets like Caoimhin Kelleher.
