Rudiger Reaches Milestone

Defensive Improvement
Though both teams were exciting to watch in the game especially in the final third both teams have fallen short in the defensive areas as they both conceded avoidable goals in the contest.
Chelsea should have done better in preventing Harvey Barnes while Ben Chilwell was left unmarked in the box. This lead to the defender (Ben) coolly slotting home with a touch of composure.
This is not also forgetting Leicester City who should have done better to prevent defender Antonio Rudiger from finding the net at least once in the game.
