One Leicester City player has come out and said that Chelsea did not create much against them in their win yesterday at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues beat Leicester City 1-0 in the Premier League yesterday afternoon in what was a vital three points in the race for Champions League spots.
EXCLUSIVE! Calibre of Chelsea’s summer transfer targets rests on a few key elements – names and details inside!
It didn’t look like it was going to be Chelsea’s day after Cole Palmer missed a first half penalty when most of us would of put our houses on him scoring it.
Enzo Maresca was very pleased with the three points but he did once again threaten to take off one of his players if they went against his passing tactics.
All in all though it was a good afternoon for Chelsea as they firmly put themselves back in to fourth place in the Premier League.
And it was the man who saved Palmer’s penalty, Mads Hermansen, who believes Chelsea just got the better of the luck on the day.

Tosin Adarabioyo almost scored an own goal when he headed back onto his own crossbar in what was a narrow escape, and that is one example that the Leicester stopper points at.
“It is obviously frustrating. It sums up the situation we are in now as a team,” he added. “The crossbar in the first half, that little bit of luck. Didn’t create much and they score from distance.
“We just need to keep being solid defensively and keep trying to go on the counter and create some chances. Hopefully, soon the luck will turn around a bit.
“We speak as a team internally and we all think and feel this is a tough situation of course. We are also mindful about going deeper down into the hole. We’re trying to keep smiling.”
