Leicester Hold Chelsea To 2-2 Draw In Premier League
Chelsea’s English striker Tammy Abraham misses a chance at goal during the English Premier League football match between Leicester City and Chelsea at King Power Stadium in Leicester, central England on February 1, 2020. Adrian DENNIS / AFPAntonio Rudiger rescued Chelsea as the German defender’s second goal of the game earned a 2-2 draw against top-four rivals Leicester on Saturday.
Third-placed Leicester could be more sanguine about the result as they sit eight points clear of fourth-placed Chelsea, who have now won just one of their last five league games. Showing his irritation with Chelsea’s spluttering form, Lampard dropped Kepa Arrizabalaga after some error-prone displays from Chelsea’s keeper, with 38-year-old Willy Caballero making his first league appearance since May.
Pedro went close with a clever chip from the edge of the area which Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel tipped over at full stretch.Leicester were stunned by their late League Cup semi-final defeat against Aston Villa in midweek and they looked low on confidence at times. But Chelsea’s defence remains far from impregnable and Leicester hit back to equalise eight minutes later.
Chelsea conceded again in the 64th minute as more sloppy defending allowed Leicester to sweep through.
