First half goals from Wilfred Ndidi and James Maddison have given Leicester City a 2-0 win over Chelsea.

The victory moves the Foxes top of the EPL table, one point ahead of Man United, who have a game in hand.

This was also Leicester’s first home win over Chelsea since their title-winning season in 2016.

As for the Blues, they've now lost five of their last eight games.

Another match this morning saw West Ham move up to seventh in the table after beating West Brom 2-1.

Lampard in trouble

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s defeat has left Frank Lampard in danger of getting the sack.

This, after multiple UK reports claimed that Blues owner Roman Abramovich would bring in a replacement if they lost to the Foxes.
