Both Chelsea goals came from set-pieces taken by Mason Mount but Leicester levelled soon after the first with a deflected ball from Harvey Barnes, and then went ahead with a Ben Chilwell goal after the Blues dealt poorly with danger.

Our German centre-back was there to rescue a point however which maintains our deficit to Leicester above us in the table at eight points, although we were thankful our opponents wasted two great chances to win the game towards the end.

The first half of a lively contest was goalless. Both sides must have been thinking they should have scored as they went in at the interval, although they had managed only one shot on-target each. The full-backs were Chelsea’s most creative threat in that first period – Reece James with his pacy crossing and Cesar Azpilicueta with more measured deliveries giving Tammy Abraham hope of a goal.

Leicester’s former England striker Jamie Vardy had their best first-half chance but he was denied by Willy Caballero who made other saves, and although his part in the Foxes second goal was questioned by some, Frank Lampard pointed the finger at the poor marking of the goalscorer instead.
