Watch: Azpilicueta, Fabregas lead Chelsea's comeback in League Cup

Chelsea was facing certain elimination in the League Cup, down to Leicester City 2-0 at King Power Stadium with halftime approaching, but a massive turnaround saw the Blues send the Premier League champions tumbling out of the competition.

Gary Cahill started the comeback on the stroke of halftime, Cesar Azpilicueta sent the match to extra time with a sensational volley from long distance and Cesc Fabregas scored twice in quick succession in extra time to give Chelsea the 4-2 victory.

Shinji Okazaki scored twice in the opening 34 minutes for Leicester, but Cahill gave Chelsea a lifeline and set the stage for the comeback with a header off a corner kick that just crossed the line (before David Luiz ensured it found the back of the net anyway).
