Review
Full-back Marcos Alonso stole the show for the Blues, who were without star striker and top scorer Costa. The Spaniard scored an early goal to give Chelsea the lead and added to his tally after the break, shocking fans and pundits alike.
Bleacher Report UK pulled out this meme:
The in-form Pedro added a third goal, as the Blues didn't need their top attacking option to beat the Foxes. With the win, Chelsea once again hold a seven-point lead over the pack, with Liverpool yet to feature in Week 21.
It was a good day for the two rivals from north London, who both bagged routine 4-0 wins. Arsenal cruised to the finish line in Wales, where Swansea City managed to score two own-goals.
Star forwards Olivier Giroud and Sanchez chipped in with goals of their own, continuing their fine form this season. Per Goal's Chris Wheatley, youngster Alex Iwobi also impressed:
Earlier in the day, Tottenham blew West Bromwich Albion out of the water at home, courtesy of a hat-trick by Harry Kane.
As shared by Bleacher Report UK, the England international has been on fire lately:
Gareth McAuley aided the hosts' bid for a win with an early own-goal, and Spurs were rarely troubled from that point onwards.
It wasn't all plain sailing for Spurs, however, as star defender Jan Vertonghen left the pitch with a knee injury in the second half. Manager Mauricio Pochettino weighed in on the incident, per the club's official Twitter account:
Joey Barton scored the only goal in Burnley's shock win over Southampton, and West Ham United responded to the controversy surrounding Dimitri Payet with a resounding 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.
As shared by Matt Barlow of the Daily Mail, the club took full precautions, even guarding an image of the France international following his decision not to play for the club until he receives a transfer:
Andy Carroll responded with a wonder goal, scoring a brilliant overhead kick that will be among the candidates for the Goal of the Season award. Sofiane Feghouli and Manuel Lanzini added their names to the scoresheet.
Manchester United will play host to rivals Liverpool on Sunday while Everton play Manchester City.
