Jackson and Fernandez give Maresca a winning return to LeicesterBy Jonathan Veal, PAEnzo Maresca enjoyed a winning return to Leicester as Chelsea ran out comfortable 2-1 victors at the King Power Stadium. Maresca led the Foxes to the Championship title in his only season in charge but left for Stamford Bridge in the summer. Chelsea dominated from the off and were rewarded with the 15th-minute lead, though Leicester defender Wout Faes will not want to watch it back. Leicester eventually turned up, albeit briefly, and fashioned two good chances to equalise before the break. Jackson’s header from Cucurella’s cross was straight at Hermansen but the rebound fell perfectly for Fernandez to head home.
