Says shocked Chelsea boss

asked about it. Under the collar? “No,” he added. “We played very well for 55 minutes. We played very good football.

“After the goal, the reaction was a strange reaction.

“Not in the right direction. Not as a team. But as 11 different players. So it was really very strange.

“We could have done better in the reaction. We had only to continue to play as in the first part of the match.

“There was time to score but the reaction was as a team shocked, a team in mental confusion.”

A 70-yard ball from David Luiz caused chaos in the Leicester area with Schmeichel missing it under pressure from Willian and the Dane was delighted when it didn’t squeeze in.

Luiz then had a great chance from close range but couldn’t get off the ground to head it.

Eden Hazard took advantage of a poor touch from Harry Maguire but was denied by the woodwork, before Wilfred Ndidi’s thunderbolt forced a brilliant save from Kepa Arrizabalaga.

And after Leicester took the lead, their keeper made an even better save from Hazard.

Antonio Rudiger missed a great chance with his head late on and then, in stoppage time, Alonso hit a post when one-on- one with Schmeichel as Leicester held eld on.

Leicester r left- back Ben Chilwell said: aid: “This is 100 per cent our ur best result of the season.

“We’ve played layed well against big teams but not got over the line. Before efore the goal we knew we could ould catch them on the counter, nter, a brilliant ball by James es Maddison to slip through h Jamie Vardy and one-on-one n-one we can rely on him m to score.

“The result sult builds confidence. . We know we have a brilliant squad, we e know how good we are.”
