Leicester, under Brandon Rogers, are seen as a formidable side who are in top 6 contention this summer. They have a good team with a blend of youngsters and experienced hands. However, they will regret the manner in which they conceded the goal.
In the 7th minute of the match Kasper Schmeichel collected the ball and passed it to one of the defenders. The ball was passed to N’didi who was oblivious to the fact that young Mason Mount was charging behind him. The 20-year old poached the ball from N’didi and kicked it past Schmeichel to give Chelsea their first goal of the Frank Lampard era.

Chelsea will now hope to keep the pressure up and put the game past Leicester City. With a lot of time left in the game still, the Blues are aware that the Foxes can also stage a comeback at any point.
