Leicester vs Chelsea live
List of goalscorers
End of match
-
90'FT: Leicester were in control from start to finish as Chelsea, although improved from their last outing, couldn't do enough against a much stronger opposition. The scoreline could have easily have been 4-0 or more tonight, not that that will be much of a consolation for Lampard. Leicester lead the Premier League once again!
-
88 'Ziyech gets booked for pushing over the attacking player just outside the area near the touchline.
-
87 'Vardy comes off Iheanacho comes on. He's not had much to do tonight but he's done enough.
-
85'Werner heads home from the cross but the flag goes up.
-
84 'Fofana sees yellow for bringing down Kovacic in a dangerous area.
-
82'Leicester have another freekick out wide.
-
81'Leicester have another corner as the pressure on Chelsea does not stop.
-
78'Justin has been a pleasure to watch tonight, as have many Leicester players. Maddison has been subbed off now but he's a definite man of the match candidate barring a Werner hat-trick.
-
74'Silva plays a long ball over the top for Abraham but Leicester are vigilant in defence and clear the ball with no trouble.
-
72'Frustration setting in for Chelsea as James pushes over the defender after being beaten to the ball.

-
63'Ziyech and Werner both begin to warm up on the sidelines.
-

-
56'Tielemens blocked by Mendy after Vardy plays him on inside the box with a beautiful through ball on a counter attack.
-
53'Leicester played some beautiful football with 3 passes inside the box. Albrighton turns, shoots and beats Mendy but was a fair way offside.

Yellow card
a Chelsea
-
51 'Kovacic booked for a hard entry in the centre of the pitch.
-

-
48'Lampard is not looking very happy on the touchline... He knows his time is running out.
-
46'Chilwell closes down Albrighton as he looks up to find Vardy. Ball is blocked out for a throw.

-
44'Abraham takes out Fofana in attempting a wild jumping header to see off Chelsea's lacklustre half.

-
34'Vardy 1 on 1 with Mendy just gets a fingertip to the shot to push it clear of goal.

-
30'BArnes and Justin work together to create space and win a corner from a James deflection.

-
25'Albrighton fires one in from way out the box is made to look much more difficult to save than it probably was by Mendy.
-

15'Maddison beats Mendy but hits the bar with a thunderbolt of a shot from outside the area.
