90+6 mins: That's the whistle, it could have gone either way. Chelsea were the better side in the first half and were rewarded just after the restart with the opening goal.
But that seemed to galvanise Leicester City who turned it up and dominated the next 20 minutes, scoring two goals and missing two really great chances.
Chelsea levelled with another set piece and held on for a draw. Honours even at the end of a great game of match.
