Chelsea FC V Leicester: Video Highlights And Hot Takes

Chelsea FC fell once again as Leicester City earned a 2-1 victory at home. Check out the highlights and hot takes from the contest.

With another disappointing Chelsea loss in the books, it’s time for some hot takes (be sure to check out a more professional match report here).

• Good to see an unchanged side fielded by Jose Mourinho. The team were incredibly impressive against Porto midweek so why would you change it.
• This is code for “Good to see that Cesc Fabregas is on the bench”.
• Oh yeah, Leicester play in blue. That’s convenient because we can claim that we were playing in blue when we lose.
• By the way, for all those watching in the UK, how great was Frank Lampard at punditry? Sky could have found their Gary Neville successor right there.
• Danny Drinkwater was injured, meaning something for Leicester fans. He was replaced by a King, though, which sounds cooler.
• This Willian fella sucks at taking set-pieces. Sack him.
• Decent start to the game, mind, with the visitors seeing most of the ball. It’s not often that you say that when a relegation-threatened team travel to the league leaders.
• But let’s not speak about that, it’s still 0-0.
• Eden Hazard is hobbling off! What happened? Oh, it’s his hip. Has he got arthritis or something? There seemed to be little in Jamie Vardy’s challenge, must have been the landing.

• Oh for f**k’s sake.
• This man is a machine. Vardy latched onto to a great cross from Riyad Mahrez and applied a incredibly cool finish to send the ball past Thibaut Courtois and the King Power stadium into raptures.

• Speaking of King Power, I’m waiting for Leicester to announce a renewed sponsorship deal with them. Then it can be called the King Power II Stadium.
• But yeah, nightmare this.
• Nemanja Matic hit the crossbar. It’s the mask I tell you! The damn mask!
• Kurt Zouma evidently a bit bored, so he decides to clean out Vardy. Is that a shot on target then? Can we add it to the list?
• Half-time. 1-0 Leicester. I’m off to eat some cake.
• We’re back, the cake was indeed delicious.
• When I strike oil in my back garden, I’m going to pay both Diego Costa and Jamie Vardy to have a fight. It’ll be mega.
• Oh for f**k’s sake (take two).
• A top finish by Mahrez after a Marc Albrighton cross finds him in plenty of space at the far post. Cesar Azpilicueta gets mesmerized by his twisting and turning before the winger places it with his left foot into the opposite corner.

• This is like that episode of Spongebob when the Flying Dutchman forces Mr Krabs to be generous. This is all a dream and I will soon wake up.
• Speaking of waking up, can someone wake this Chelsea side? But more like hold a vigil wake as opposed to anything else.
• John Terry off, Fabregas on. I guess that there is nothing to lose.
• My good god Diego Costa. A one-on-one with Kasper Schmeichel and yep, Costa fails to hit the back of the net. Ugh…

• My good god Branislav Ivanovic. A corner comes in and falls at the feet of the Serb who is literally inches from the goalline. To be fair to the defender, he sticks to what he does best by putting in a cross that fails to beat the first man.

• The game’s opened up now. Entertaining for the neutral, which Mourinho may soon be.
• Woo goal for the Blues. Loic Remy latches onto a Pedro cross to nod the ball into the back of the net and give us hope. BELIEVE!

• I’ve stopped believing, this is just isn’t happening.
• Five minutes of stoppage time? BELIEVE!
• And that’s the full-time whistle. Leicester emerge as 2-1 victors from a highly-entertaining affair as they prove their title credentials. Seriously.
• It’s alright though, because Chelsea host Sunderland on Saturday. And they’re really bad. So that’s a guaranteed win right? Right???
