Antonio Rudiger rescued Chelsea as the German defender’s second goal of the game earned a 2-2 draw against top-four rivals 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. Pedro went close with a clever chip from the edge of the area which Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel tipped over at full stretch. Chelsea conceded again in the 64th minute as more sloppy defending allowed Leicester to sweep through. Leicester should have won it but Jonny Evans headed wide from six yards before Barnes flicked past the far post from close range.
