Issues bought off to an unbelievable begin when Wilfred Ndidi scored inside six minutes. His objective was… fairly bizarre, to be sincere.
The results of a botched, however intelligent, nook routine, Ndidi swung a left peg on the ball, after Harvey Barnes’ scuffed effort, and it flew previous Edouard Mendy, clipping the publish because it went in.
For these Foxes followers who’ve watched the Nigerian fireplace off lengthy photographs to little success through the years, the objective was a really welcome shock.
LEICESTER LEAD! ?

James Maddison then rattled the crossbar, whereas Marc Albrighton stung Mendy’s palms with a fierce lengthy shot quickly after.
Nevertheless, the following actual speaking level got here when Chelsea had been awarded a penalty.
Besides, no, they weren’t. VAR made certain of that, a lot to the annoyance of Blues’ followers all over the place. Jonny Evans was initially judged to have introduced Christian Pulisic down within the field, however upon overview the problem truly came about simply exterior.
Chelsea penalty!

After the break, Leicester’s dominance continued. By the hour mark, James Justin had nodded a free header vast on the again publish, Marc Albrighton had had one dominated out for offside and Youri Tielemans was denied by Mendy’s legs.
Regardless of being within the ascendency, Foxes followers weren’t comfy with their two-goal cushion and had been pushing their aspect to see the sport off.

In fact, they by no means seemed like surrendering their lead.
Across the 65-minute mark each Callum Hudson-Odoi and Kai Havertz had been withdrawn having contributed little or no.
Evaluations of their performances weren’t good…
A number of gamers that I totally anticipated to show up that have not:
James, Chilwell, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi. All seemed shadows of themselves.
I do not suppose Lampard has “misplaced” the dressing room, however they actually do not consider in him and Brendan Rodgers has outcoached us this night!
— Harry Saratov (@HKSaratov) January 19, 2021
In the event you spend one other £200m and you continue to solely have Tammy abraham and Hudson odoi up high, then questions need to be requested.
— Ian Kenealy (@ianjk23) January 19, 2021
The gamers to go off are Callum Hudson-Odoi and Kai Havertz. They will have completely no complaints.

I hope Roman Abramovich by no means employs John Terry as supervisor, i don’t wish to undergo this once more, if the gamers can’t even combat for Lampard what would they be like for different membership legends? Chelsea ought to at all times make use of high managers that may win us trophies, maintain our idols secure.

If Frank Lampard does get sacked, the one gamers who’ve evidently given their all from the beginning of our disaster have been:
