Frank Lampard admitted Chelsea face a fight to finish in the Premier League’s top four after Antonio Rudiger’s second goal of the game earned a 2-2 draw against Leicester on Saturday. Rudiger put Chelsea ahead early in the second half at the King Power Stadium before Harvey Barnes and Ben Chilwell scored in quick succession to give Leicester the lead. A thrilling second half climaxed when Rudiger became the first defender to score a brace for Chelsea in the Premier League since John Terry against Fulham in 2013. In the second half we weren’t so fluid and they created some good chances themselves,” Lampard said. Chelsea conceded again in the 64th minute as more sloppy defending allowed Leicester to sweep through.
