#1 Lack of Pressing in the second half
Chelsea started the game very well, implementing a high press and closing down the opposition around the pitch. Every player looked sharp and pressed with intent, as Leicester City had their backs to the wall. The Blues played the game at a very high tempo and dictated the terms in the midfield. And their efforts bore fruits very soon.
As soon as Wilfred Ndidi received the ball near his box, Mason Mount spotted an opportunity. He harrowed the Nigeria, stole the ball and then expertly finished to give his team the lead. At that point, it appeared as if Chelsea would easily score a couple in the next few minutes. However, Leicester City held on and clawed back into the game.
After the break, Chelsea suddenly changed tactics and no longer pressed the ball. While a couple of players still closed down the opposition, it was not the collective press of the first half. This allowed Leicester City to get comfortable, find their feet and score.
Lampard's decision to stop pressing the opposition had a telling impact on the result and ultimately cost Chelsea the game
