Chelsea's Pulisic gets 5/10 as lacklustre defending sees Leicester go top

Chelsea remain eighth in the Premier League after crashing to a 2-0 defeat to title contenders Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Poor marking from a short corner granted Wilfred Ndidi a rare goal in the opening minutes when his powerful strike from outside the penalty area put the Foxes up. James Maddison later doubled the hosts' advantage when easing past Blues defender Reece James to score comfortably before the half-time whistle.

Substitute Timo Werner did find the back of the net late on for Frank Lampard's men when glancing a free kick past Kasper Schmeichel, though this was quickly ruled out for offside.
