Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#2 - Leicester & Chelsea need to be more clinical

Leicester City v Chelsea - Premier League

One thing common between the two sides today was their finishing. Both the teams failed to capitalize on their opportunities or else the scoreline would have been a little different.

Riyad Mahrez was the main culprit for Leicester City. He had a glorious chance to shoot from the edge of the box but took an extra touch of the ball only for a Chelsea defender to get closer to him and nick the ball away.

Slimani also had a great chance to score when the score was 0-0 but he shot straight at Courtois - and that was after Mahrez failed to slip the ball to Vardy in a 2-on-1 situation. Chelsea got a goal kick and a minute later, Morata headed them ahead.

For Chelsea, it was not one or two but almost all of them towards the end. Instead of laying off the ball to someone who's free, they tried to keep hold of the ball and got dispossessed all the time. Luckily, they did not concede or else Antonio Conte would have given them a hair-dryer treatment in the dressing room.
