2. Leicester City 2-1 Chelsea
A 2-1 defeat to table-topping Leicester City at the King Power Stadium would prove to be the last match Jose Mourinho would take charge in his second spell at Chelsea. The Blues produced a performance befitting of their miserable 2015-16 season: lethargic, tentative, apathetic, and outclassed all over the pitch, prompting Mourinho to accuse his players of “betraying” him. Just seven months prior to this fixture, Chelsea were crowned Premier League champions and it seemed unthinkable they could suffer nine defeats less than halfway through the following campaign. Mourinho’s role in the Blues’ downfall divides opinion among the Stamford Bridge faithful, but this fixture will forever mark the day Roman Abramovich deemed he was incapable of guiding the club forward.
