In quest of their third consecutive victory across all competitions, Chelsea entered today's match against Leicester City with great anticipation.
Chelsea claimed 3-1 win over Foxes at the King Power Stadium on Saturday to continue with their third wins in a row.
In the meanwhile, there was a contentious play in which a Leicester player avoided a red card after making a terrible challenge on a Chelsea star.
Despite the fact that Chelsea has been the subject of several contentious decisions in the English Premier League this year, today's situation seems to be worse since the referee didn't make a good judgement.
Nevertheless, attention is given to the incorrect challenge on Joao Felix by Ricardo Pereira in the third minute before to the goal. The defender ought to have been sent off for that action since many replays reveal that he stomped on the side of Felix's ankle, potentially inflicting significant harm.
Thankfully for Leicester, Pereira was not given a card by the referee since he managed to avoid receiving one. Before the half ended, other Leicester players kept attacking the Chelsea player and kept getting away with it.
In order for Leicester players to get cautions and play a fair game, the referee will need to sharpen his officiating abilities in the second half by safeguarding vulnerable players like Felix.
In the same half, Chelsea took the lead thanks to Ben Chilwell, who celebrated his goal against his previous team. Kalidou Koulibaly's cross was well finished by the left back. Leicester almost tied the score a few seconds later before Patson Daka finally evens the score with a spectacular long-range goal. Just before halftime, Havertz gave Chelsea the advantage again.
