Chelsea 1-1 Leicester City: 4 talking points after Chelsea and Leicester City go home with a draw

#4 Leicester could have won if Maddison had remained calm

Chelsea 1-1 Leicester City

After scoring the equalizer, Leicester City came two or three times close to gain a lead in the scoreline but they failed to do it. The closest was when James Maddison dribbled past Chelsea’s defence to score the winner.

However, the English midfielder failed to win the game for his team, as nervousness on his face made him shot the ball beyond the goal-post, and the ball flew to the audience stand.

It was the perfect moment for Maddison to make his name, as he easily went past the Blues’ defence and Kepa Arrizabalaga was off-guard, and possibly could not have stopped the goal, but Maddison did not even see once before pushing the ball into the net.

This led to the English International missing the goal, and making Leicester City to be satisfied with only one goal and a point after the end of the 90 minutes.
