Chelsea entertained Leicester City at Stamford Bridge earlier tonight as they looked to earn maximum points at home. The Blues made a poor start to the game as they conceded the opening goal in the sixth minute when James Maddison scored with an excellent finish. However, the home team equalised via Marcos Alonso’s volley in the 34th minute. Chelsea were being held 1-1 at half-time.

Both sides fought tooth and nail in the second half as Chelsea ended up frustrated after only managing to secure a 1-1 draw at the full-time whistle.
