Pedro almost doubled the lead with a neat free-kick near the end of the half before Alonso struck again six minutes after the interval with a shot that deflected in off Leicester's Wes Morgan. "That was a very professional, solid, good performance on the back of the Spurs game," said Chelsea's Gary Cahill. "I'm proud of the lads. It's all about not looking back." Asked how difficult it was to cope without leading scorer Diego Costa, who missed the game through injury, Cahill said: "When someone is missing we produce, someone else comes in."
