Alonso scores as Chelsea draw with Leicester

Marcos Alonso scored as Chelsea drew their penultimate match of the season.

James Maddison gave Leicester an early lead with a lovely strike after four minutes.

The Foxes playmaker moved away from Thiago Silva and curled his shot beyond keeper Edouard Mendy.

Alonso equalised by volleying home Reece James’ superb cross-field ball.

Christian Pulisic made a total mess of a great chance to put Chelsea ahead in the second half, slicing wide of the target from eight yards out after being teed up by Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku himself missed a decent chance when he headed Hakim Ziyech’s cross wide.
