Ndidi Scores Opener In Leicester 2-0 Win Against Chelsea

Leicester City beat Chelsea to go top of Premier League table thanks to goals from Nigeria international, Wilfred Ndidi and James Maddison.

Leicester outwitted and outfought the visitors and sealed victory thanks to first-half goals by Wilfred Ndidi and James Maddison.

They could have scored more against a Chelsea team that mixed tantalisingly slick interplay with alarming sluggishness and ramshackle defending. At times they looked like an attractive work in progress; mostly they resembled a disenchanted side going through motions. Lampard has criticised the players’ attitude several times this season. Some do not seem to be responding.

Chelsea rarely threatened, although they were denied a first-half penalty by VAR when Christian Pulisic went down under a challenge from Jonny Evans, only for the technology to confirm the offence took place just outside the area.
