Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#3 Kante is indispensable but Chelsea could do without Bakayoko

Bakayoko fails to deliver yet again

Chelsea's victory on the night could be credited in the name of N'Golo Kante to some extent at least. The Frenchman was their best player against Barcelona during midweek and picked up from where he left off at the Nou Camp, leaving the Leicester players far behind with his quick-thinking and excellent ball retention.

Kante attempted a total of 76 passes with an impressive accuracy of 88% to go with his assist for the winning goal and a couple of key interceptions and vital tackles. His partner in midfield, on the other hand, was nowhere near him in terms of making an impact on the game. Tiemoue Bakayoko struggled to keep possession of the ball and was replaced by Cesc Fabregas at the half-time interval.

The 23-year-old, who joined from Monaco in the summer, has failed to nail down a position at his new club and has been handed the task of filling a massive void left behind by the departure of Nemanja Matic to Manchester United. Bakayoko is far from being a finished product but it almost feels like his time at Chelsea could well be over before it had even started!
