Ziyech the hyper active

Hakim Ziyech was very present on the lawn of Stamford Bridge.

He started most of his team's chances and was high profile.

He attempts a first strike in the 4th minute which narrowly misses Schmeichel's goal.

The Atlas Lion had a lot of play in his right lane bringing his technique and his vision of the game to the game of the Blues and also spending a lot of energy defending and pressing.

A full match from Ziyech who deserved to be rewarded with a decisive gesture.

Foxes boss Fofana

The Frenchman has done the Foxes a lot of good since his return to the field.

Solid defensively with 5 cleared balls, 2 interceptions and 8 duels won out of 9 played, Wesley Fofana was the boss of the Leicester defense.

He spent a lot, was always well placed and tried to raise properly.

In the last minutes of the game, he dedicated himself by attacking, bringing the ball up the right wing with a technique well above average for a defender and obtaining a good free kick to blow his team.

A very solid performance for Fofana.

James once again decisive

The right lane of the Blues was definitely very prominent.

Lined up behind Ziyech in a piston role in the 3-4-3 set up by Tuchel, Reece James performed well.

He repeatedly tried to bring danger to his lane with many climbs and opportunities created.

He delivers a caviar on a nice pass stung for the equalizer of Alonso who ends with a nice volley (35th).

The Chelsea side has taken on a new dimension this season.

FLOPS

Pulisic misses the inevitable

The American international didn't put on a great game.

Little in sight in his left lane, he struggled to bring danger against the block very well in place of the Foxes.

The Blues winger only touched 36 balls, won half of his duels (6/12) and above all missed a huge opportunity that could have given victory to Chelsea.

On an offering from Lukaku after good work from James, Christian Pulisic finds himself alone against Schmeichel 6 meters from goal and completely misses his flat foot (62nd).

In the images that followed, we saw that the former Dortmund player again broke this missed opportunity.

He was then substituted in the 72nd minute.

A small Leicester against the Blues

The Foxes, who nevertheless got the draw on the lawn of Stamford Bridge, offered almost nothing in terms of play. After their express opener (6th), Rodgers' men waited for the Blues in their own half of the field by operating against.

The opportunities were few and the quality of the show was felt.

For a team that had nothing left to play in the Premier League, the Foxes are not much wet and the pace of the game suffered as a result.

Jamie Vardy must have felt very alone with Iheanacho in front and only touched 11 balls in this part.
