Leicester and Chelsea play out an entertaining Premier League draw in a see-saw encounter at King Power Stadium.

Antonio Rudiger is the first defender to score a twice for Chelsea in a Premier League game since John Terry against Fulham in April 2013

But Rudiger's second headed goal of the day - from another Mount delivery - ensured Frank Lampard's side claimed a point.Chelsea underline top-four credentials At 38, the Argentine is heading towards the twilight of his career but he made a superb save early on to deny Jamie Vardy his 18th goal of the season and, although his decision to charge away from goal in pursuit of a cross in the build-up to Chilwell's goal was an aberration, he was otherwise solid.

Barnes steered a glorious chance wide when through on Caballero, and Jonny Evans headed wide from a corner, but they never appeared fully in control. However, the Foxes still have a considerable cushion to Chelsea, with the teams below that even further away from threatening their place in next season's Champions League.Rudiger put in a dominant display for Chelsea, winning possession for his side more than any other playerLeicester manager Brendan Rodgers talking to BBC Match of the Day:"We should have won having gone 2-1 up. We gifted them two goals really, which we're disappointed with.
