Chelsea 0-1 Leicester City: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2018-19

#3 Leicester break on the counter, Vardy opens the scoring

What a finish from Vardy!

After all that reprocessing of the ball and attempts on goal from the Blues, it only took one brutal counter-attack from Leicester's perspective to break the deadlock from an emphatic Jamie Vardy finish.

Chelsea started strong in the second half as well, with Kante surging forward and creating a good couple of chances. A corner then followed, before Leicester broke.

Sublime yet slick dribbling from Ricardo lit up the stage for James Maddison, who needs no second invitation to produce a killer pass. The number 10, from his typical position, played a through ball between Rudiger's legs to Vardy, who slotted it home and put his team's nose in front.

Eventually, it turned out to be the winner.
