Marc Cucurella has just scored his first Chelsea goal, tapping into an empty net as his team took advantage of a mistake in possession by Leicester.
Nicolas Jackson put the burners on to run around the outside of the Foxes defence, and that gave him the angle to pull the ball back to the onrushing Cucurella, who had run the full pitch from his box to get on the end of it.
What a nice reward for the Spaniard after a long injury.
