Frank Lampard’s slow start to his managerial career at Chelsea persists following the Blues 1-1 draw with Leicester City at Stamford Bridge. While rising star Mason Mount opened the scoring for Chelsea in the 7th minute, The Foxes eventually leveled the scoring through a Wilfred Ndidi strike in the 67th minute.

Lampard had this to say following the draw: “We were quick, bright, energetic, then we allowed Leicester back in the game and in the second half I was not very happy, we offered them too many chances on the counter-attack.”

Going into the half-time break, Chelsea were the dominant side, however, Leicester City upped the pressure against the home team from the start of the second half. At the conclusion of 90 minutes, Leicester City took a total of 12 shots while Chelsea took 14, with possession being split 51% to 49% in Chelsea’s favor.

This draw is yet another instance of points dropped for Chelsea. Following their 4-0 defeat to Manchester United in their previous match, the Blues sit in 15th place on the league table with one point after two matches. While Leicester City is in twelfth place with two points, they seem to be in much finer form, particularly after a hard-fought goalless draw with a dangerous Wolves side last game week.
