Chelsea 3-0 Leicester City

Diego Costa scored his seventh Premier League goal of the season as Chelsea eased past Leicester City.

The Chelsea forward struck in the seventh minute to extend his lead as the PL's top scorer, while Eden Hazard and Victor Moses also found the net at Stamford Bridge.

Leicester made three changes to the side who drew with Southampton last time out but were a goal down when Nemanja Matic flicked on a corner into the path of Costa, who finished from close range.
