Ranieri rues set-piece defending

Claudio Ranieri felt two key moments cost Leicester City in its EFL Cup defeat to Chelsea.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri lamented conceding just before halftime in his side's loss to Chelsea in the EFL Cup.

A Shinji Okazaki brace, after poor defending by the visitors, had put Leicester on track at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.

But Gary Cahill scored from a corner just prior to the break, before Cesar Azpilicueta's stunning volley led to the equalizer and Cesc Fabregas was the hero in extra time.

Ranieri rued the goal just before halftime as the decisive moment in his side's loss.
