However, Antonio Conte’s side failed to carve out clear opportunities as the half went, as the score remained 1-0 heading into the halftime interval.

The Blues then doubled their lead in the 51st minute when Alonso grabbed his second of the match after his shot from the edge of the box was deflected into the Leicester goal.
