The main problem for the Ranieri's men, whenever they won the ball back, was the inability and the poor accuracy of their out-ball. Neither does Mitrovic have the pace to take the ball and charge forward, nor did he receive the right kind of service always.

Post half-time team talk, they went back to basics, overloaded one side of the pitch and ran in behind more often. While Sessegnon shifted to the right, Schurrle operated from the left flank.

Defensively, although they stayed narrow, the back line played higher - a positive sign for a team looking to attack. The midfield drifted further closer to the defenders and helped weave out constructive passages of play.

As a result, they did see many shots on goal and scored a goal as well. An unfortunate red card turned out to be a speed-breaker albeit.
