'We knew Chelsea switch off on set pieces' - Maddison reveals Leicester's plan to target ailing Blues

James Maddison says Leicester knew they could exploit Chelsea’s weakness from set pieces after the Foxes went top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Frank Lampard’s side.

Leicester’s opening goal came from a short corner routine, with midfielder Wilfried Ndidi eventually found in space to fire home from the edge of the area.

Maddison scored the second goal himself, taking his tally for the season to seven and heaping the pressure on Lampard.
