LONDON - Leicester moved top of the Premier League by inflicting another damaging 2-0 defeat on Chelsea on Tuesday, to leave manager Frank Lampard fighting to remain in charge at Stamford Bridge.
But it is Leicester who are threatening to recreate their heroics of the 2015/16 season when they shocked the football world to win the Premier League as first-half goals from Wilfried Ndidi and James Maddison earned a thoroughly deserved win."It sounds nice 'top of the Premier League'," said Maddison."It's a good one psychologically because we've worked really hard. It's a great achievement halfway through the season.
"There might be teams able to spend a lot more money than us and bring in quality from abroad and pay big wages, but our team spirit and togetherness will continue to try and keep us up there," added Maddison. "The basics and bare minimums are to run, sprint and cover ground, and too many of our players didn't do it," said Lampard."We were beaten by the better team."
A VAR review, though, judged the foul had taken place outside the box and within two minutes it was 2-0 thanks to more dire Chelsea defending.
LCFC ChelseaFC sport Chelsea must just fire Lampard. They've spent a lot of money by signing players, but results ain't coming.
