Arguably Chelsea's worst performer on the day was Italian midfielder Jorginho. At the start of the game, he was very good as Chelsea started stronger but after Leicester City grew into the game, the Italian got exposed.

He played alongside N'Golo Kante in a midfield two in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The Italian struggled to dictate the pace of the game, especially in the second half when Leicester started pressing Chelsea more.

Jorginho wasn't getting enough time on the ball and he was being constantly overrun by the away side's midfield. This meant Kante had to do a lot of covering and defensive work. The Italian was later substituted for Matteo Kovacic.

#1 Leicester City need to be more ruthless if they are to break into the top 6

Brendan Rodgers would be clearly aiming for a top 6 finish this season as this Leicester side has a lot of quality. Today, they had huge chances in the second half to kill the game, but the away side didn't take any of them.

First, it was Maddison who found himself one on one with Chelsea's goalkeeper and blazed his shot over the bar. Next, it was Jamie Vardy who also found himself in a very good position in front of the Chelsea goal and dragged his shot wide.

Then, Youri Tielemans had the hardest chance of them all as he struck his shot from the edge of the box straight at Kepa Arrizabalaga. Rodgers would have wanted his side to be more clinical as the match was there for the taking. If the Foxes are to break into the top 6 this season, they will have to be more clinical.
