Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds King Power Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Leicester City FC and Chelsea FC.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Leicester City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' It’s high time Frank Lampard made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 23' Caglar Soyuncu was booked on 23.
  • 28' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 33' Reece James has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 38' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Leicester City FC and Chelsea FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 43' The travelling Chelsea FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' A change in the Chelsea FC ranks — Reece James exits the field as Azpilicueta enters on 46.
  • 51' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Leicester City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ross Barkley, as he is very good at scoring at King Power Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 57' It is a substitution in Leicester City FC team. Ayoze Perez is replaced by Marc Albrighton on 57 minute.
  • 62' Leicester City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 63' Magnificent from Ross Barkley! That is 28 goals in 409 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 68' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 68 minutes.
  • 72' A tactical swap from Chelsea FC — Ruben Loftus-Cheek on, Christian Pulisic off on 72 minutes.
  • 76' Time for substitution for Leicester City FC. Harvey Barnes is replaced by Demarai Gray.
  • 78' Pedro is ready to make an impact after coming on for Willian at the 78 minute mark.
  • 83' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Emerson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • It finishes all square. Leicester City FC and Chelsea FC share the spoils 0-1.
