WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Daishawn Redan's second-half strike earned Chelsea a 1-0 win over Leicester City at Aldershot to deal a blow to their Division 1 title hopes.

Redan, celebrating his 17th birthday, struck with a clinical finish on 53 minutes for his third goal in as many matches.

In their penultimate home match of the season, the Blues had to resist sustained pressure from Leicester, who twice came close.

Foxes striker Josh Gordon hit the post, before Marcin Bulka tipped Hamza Choudhury's audacious effort from the halfway line on to the crossbar.

Chelsea are seventh on 20 points, while Leicester, beaten for the first time in 11 matches, are second, three points behind Liverpool on 33 points, having played two matches more.
