Wilfred Ndidi's header denies Frank Lampard victory in his first game at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea boss as Leicester fight back to earn a point.
Wilfred Ndidi's second-half header earned Leicester City a deserved point and denied Frank Lampard victory in his first game at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea manager.
Leicester were much better after half-time and secured the point their second-half dominance warranted when Ndidi got between Spain right-back Cesar Azpilicueta and France defender Kurt Zouma to head in from a corner.Blues fade again on Lampard's homecoming Flames from black boxes leapt into the sky as Stamford Bridge reverberated to the sound of Chelsea fans singing 'Super Frank Lampard'.
Chelsea faded in this game too, especially in comparison to the aggressive start they made in the upbeat atmosphere created by Lampard's return - although their midweek Super Cup exertions in Turkey may have been a factor. Leicester are without a Premier League win in four games in a run that stretches back to last season, but their impressive second-half showing will leave Brendan Rodgers with optimism for the season ahead.
The 22-year-old was the stand-out player in the game, not just content to distribute the ball intelligently but also threaten in the Chelsea box himself.
