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

#4 Chelsea lost their rhythm after the goal

Pedro lost possession quite a few times, owing to the pressure

Although there weren't many openings carved out in the first period of play, Azpilicueta and co. looked rather settled on and off the ball. Kepa did produce a magnificent save, but it was all Chelsea in the first half.

The same happened in the second half until Vardy scored. After that, Leicester had a bit more 'bite', a bit more desire. All of a sudden, they had Chelsea rattled and dismantled.

It took a while to re-assemble, but the lack of urgency meant that the Blues relied on the dying stages of the game to salvage a point, if not score a couple in quick succession.

The sharpness was lacking in the second half, especially from the likes of Pedro and Azpilicueta. They did, however, hit the woodwork again through Marcos Alonso, who has now rattled the post more times than any other player this season - five.

Rudiger had an easy header, but the German directed it just wide of goal. That pretty much summed up Chelsea's evening.
