With Chelsea looking to bounce back from their 4-0 thrashing last week against Manchester United they began Sunday's game on the front foot nearly fetched the opener in the 2nd minute when Mason Mount pound on a loose ball but Leicester's Kasper Schmeichel stood tall to the challenge.

However, Mount was second time lucky and scored his first senior goal for Chelsea when he dispossessed Wilfred Ndidi and sent a low drive past Kasper Schmeichel in the 6th minute.

Lampard's thirst for his first win was short-lived after Ndidi made up for his earlier mistake as he rose high to head home the equalizer for Leicester from James Maddison's corner.
