Chelsea fans were not happy with one of their players on the back of his performance against Leicester City.

After the latest international break came to an end, domestic football returned to centre stage.

On Saturday afternoon, Chelsea travelled to the King Power Stadium to take on newly-promoted Leicester.

Nicolas Jackson gave the Blues a first-half lead after netting in the 15th minute.

In the second half, the visitors doubled their advantage with Enzo Fernandez heading home to make it 2-0.

Despite a positive result, Chelsea fans were less than happy with winger Noni Madueke's performance.

The 22-year-old failed to get into the match as he had a goal ruled out for offside and was in the wrong place at the wrong time as he deflected Cole Palmer's goal-bound shot away for a Leicester goal kick.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: "What is Madueke still doing on the pitch for heaven sake?"

Another tweeted: "Madueke needs to chill calm it down."

A third fan added: "Madueke needs double the bench time Enzo got."

Someone else wrote: "Can’t see Madueke keeping his spot over Neto after this game today unfortunately."

A fifth commented: "I have never seen Madueke making a right decision in final third. Most indecisive attacker in our squad."

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, former Manchester City and England captain Steph Houghton said: "Leicester have played well in this second half, but that's what Chelsea do. They drive forward and you have got to be switched on in them scenarios."

Eventually, Madueke was taken off in the 85th minute, with Jadon Sancho coming on in his place.

In stoppage time, Leicester were given a penalty after Bobby Decordova-Reid was fouled by Romeo Lavia. Jordan Ayew stepped up and scored to make it 2-1.

As a result of the victory over Leicester, Chelsea stay third in the Premier League table and are three points ahead of the likes of Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Brighton and Hove Albion ahead of the remaining fixtures of the weekend.

The Blues will be back in action on Thursday when they take on Heidenheim in the UEFA Conference League.
