New Chelsea signing, Raheem Sterling, scored his first goal for the club with a brilliant second-half performance that inspired the 10-man Blues to victory at home to Leicester.

Both teams came into the game on the back of disappointing defeats the previous weekend and Thomas Tuchel, who was forced to watch the game from the stands thanks to his touchline ban, responded by tweaking his formation, if not the personnel within it.

Conor Gallagher was sent off after less than half an hour for illegally halting two Leicester counter-attacks.

However, Sterling scored both his first and second Chelsea goals to lift the mood at a nervous Stamford Bridge, while Harvey Barnes quickly hit back for Leicester.

Chelsea were able to hold on and move back into the top half of the Premier League.
