Chelsea was forced to share points with Leicester City although they have sealed their third-place finish in the Premier League. The Blues, beaten in the FA Cup final by Liverpool at the weekend, fell behind early on when James Maddison curled a fine effort beyond goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. However, Spanish International Marcos Alonso equalized towards the end of the first half when he was picked out superbly by Reece James and volleyed in.
Chelsea forced to Share Points with Leicester City
Chelsea dominated the second half and had numerous chances to take all three points but could not find the back of the net. Hakim Ziyech went close with a free-kick while Romelu Lukaku who had been largely quiet headed wide. Christian Pulisic was not left out as he failed to convert the best chance for a winner when he sliced wide from eight yards with the goal at his mercy.
The result means Chelsea stays third, three points ahead of Tottenham, but with a vastly superior goal difference. Thomas Tuchel’s side finishes the season at home to relegated Watford on Sunday (16:00 BST) while Leicester, who are ninth, will look to cement a top-10 finish when they host Southampton at the same time.
