Alonso Sinks Leicester City
The Spanish left wing back netted a brace as Chelsea ran away 3:0 victors with Pedro applying the finishing touch late in the game.
The Blues were playing there second game of the season without Diego Costa but his presence was barely noticed before we went ahead in the sixth minute. The hosts were unable to deal with an Azpilicueta cross allowing Hazard to set up Alonso who finished with aplomb. That was his second goal in a Chelsea shirt and was just enough to silence critics following his woeful outing Vs Tottenham.
Pedro's effort over the post when he should have done better after a well worked free kick represented just how efficient the blues have been in dominance throughout the opening half.
It was only another six minutes into the second period when Alonso laced up his scoring boots to put us 2:0 up. Willian whipped in a freekick that was only cleared by the Foxes defence only as far as the Spaniard. He kept his cool to fire home despite Morgan's best efforts to put it away.
Alonso was only few inches away from his first hatrick as he watched his first time fizzing shot from a Moses cross failing to find the back of the net.
The hosts sought a way back into the game with Ranieri opting to introduce forward Okazaki in place of defender Huth.The sub however had more defensive than attacking duties to carry out as the Blues bossed the pitch. Cahill attempted an acrobatic kick that looked prized for the far left corner but somehow cannoned off the chest of Morgan.
Pedro was on hand to head home into the far left corner for our third goal of the game after a free flowing team move that involving him and Willian.
Conte believed it was now time to introduce Batshuayi and Loftus Cheek who impressed against Peterborough.
The blues expertly saw off the win recording a twelfth clean sheet of the season and moving seven points clear of second placed Tottenham.
Welldone Blues!
