Raheem Sterling has always known how to make a big impression. His first two goals since joining Chelsea from Manchester City set up a much-needed victory for Thomas Tuchel’s side despite a spirited late comeback from Leicester after Conor Gallagher was shown a red card in the first half.
Sitting in the stands as he served a one-match touchline ban following his spat with his Tottenham counterpart, Antonio Conte, a fortnight ago, Tuchel could only watch in horror at the England midfielder’s meltdown as he was sent off in only his second senior appearance for the club he joined at the age of eight.
