Chelsea won as they should have when Leicester are in straits as dire as this under Ruud van Nistelrooy, though you suspect the debates which followed in West London’s local boozers will have focused less on Marc Cucurella’s strike and more on Cole Palmer’s miss.
For the first time in his career, Palmer failed to score a penalty. He had dispatched all 15 of those taken for club and country previously, but not this time. Here, Mads Hermansen made the save, as the man whom we all know as ‘cold’ suddenly looked, well, closer to room temperature.
