Asking any defender to mark Jamie Vardy over the course of 90 minutes should be a proper nightmare, but Andreas Christensen did an admirable job of going about it.

Admittedly, Vardy did get his goal - his 10th goal in 12 games against 'Top 6' opposition, but to call that a failure on Christensen's part would be unfair. After a series of blocks and a great save from Willy Caballero, the ball fell kindly to Vardy, and the Englishman was never going to miss from that distance.

Other than that, the young Danish defender was all over the Foxes' No.9 - staying with him whenever Leicester released him from the deep and staying with him on crosses dealt in by Albrighton and Chillwell.

Chelsea did allow an unholy number of balls into the box from the wings, but it is to Christensen's credit that Vardy was never on the receiving end of any more of them.
