The Blues striker was left out of his side’s win in Leicester City but his manager’s decision was vindicated at the King Power Stadium Antonio Conte avoided a heap of pressure after Chelsea managed to win away to Leicester City without his talismanic striker, Diego Costa, after the pair fell out over a big-money offer from China. Marcos Alonso stepped up to provide the two killer blows against the Foxes, opening the scoring after Eden Hazard found him with a clever pass in the sixth minute and he soon doubled the lead with a shot from the edge of the box which deflected off Wes Morgan and squirmed past Kasper Schmeichel.
