Chelsea could only manage a point at home to Leicester City in the Premier League as they played out a 0-0 draw on Saturday.
The away side looked the more likely to score and were unfortunate not to get on the score sheet before Ben Chilwell received a second yellow in the 73rd minute.
Here, we rate the Chelsea players.
THIBAUT COURTOIS: Despite Chelsea being under pressure from Leicester over periods in the first half in particular, the Belgian didn’t really have a save to make. 6
CESAR AZPILICUETA: Had his hands full with the likes of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez but did well to keep up and didn’t put a foot wrong. 7
GARY CAHILL: Struggled with Vardy’s pace and movement early on. Pulled his hamstring and had to be replaced after 33 minutes. 5
ANTONIO RUDIGER: A bit clumsy in a tackle, especially when trying to contain Mahrez but didn’t do too much wrong, was good in the air and made a few clearances. 7
VICTOR MOSES: Provided plenty of width down the right and managed to get a couple of shots away as well. 7
TIEMOUE BAKAYOKO: Didn’t have his shooting boots on but insisted on having a go more times (3) than any other Chelsea player anyway and was wayward at best. Was better at breaking down a few Leicester attacks though. 6
N’GOLO KANTE: Was buzzing against his former side, driving forward and making some good tackles as well. Was in danger of being a little too enthusiastic though and was walking a tightrope after his booking. 7
CESC FABREGAS: He wasn’t at his best in terms of passing, providing just one key pass and registering an accuracy of 76.9%. His best moment was a shot from distance which was tipped over the bar. Was replaced in the 58th minute. 5
MARCOS ALONSO: Had one good effort from a free-kick at the death but contributed little other wise. 6
EDEN HAZARD: Was excellent at the start and had Leicester players falling over themselves but couldn’t find a killer pass and managed just one shot. Was hauled off before the hour mark as he began to fade. 6
ALVARO MORATA: Another disappointing performance. Had one good run in the first half when he did well to win a corner. Other than that, his touch was poor and decision-making just as bad. Couldn’t register a single shot throughout the game. 4
Not Hazard’s day
SUBSTITUTES
ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN (for Cahill 33′): Replaced Cahill in the first half and was solid. Did well not be lured into a challenge when Mahrez tried to win a penalty off him. 7
PEDRO (for Fabregas 58′): Couldn’t affect the game enough. Had one shot at goal but didn’t look threatening. 5
WILLIAN (for Hazard 58′): Looked like one of the players who could snatch something for the hosts but wasn’t to be. 6
