Leicester City 2- 4 Chelsea (AET)Cesc Fabregas' goals were his first of the season. Cesc Fabregas scored twice in extra time as Chelsea came from two goals down to beat 1. Leicester and reach the EFL Cup fourth round. Shinji Okazaki's header and instinctive strike put Leicester in control, but Gary Cahill nodded in before the break. Cesar Azpilicueta equalised with a long- range effort before Foxes defender Marcin Wasilewski was sent off. Fabregas' clipped finish put Chelsea ahead early in the first extra period and a powerful shot sealed the win. It had been a pulsating cup tie - particularly in the second half - with chances at both ends but Wasilewski's dismissal for elbowing Diego Costa ultimately proved costly.

- Leicester City 2-1 Chelsea: Premier League – as it happened. Ranieri raises his hands in delight. Leicester are top of the table. Chelsea’s ninth defeat in 16 games, 20 points adrift of the Midlanders.
Chelsea deserved to progress but Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri will perhaps be buoyed by his side's performance for much of the game, with glimpses of the incisive attacking and compact defending that helped them win the title last season. Slick in attack, sloppy in defence.
The return of David Luiz has, so far, not solved Chelsea's defensive troubles. Chelsea have scored in every game this season and their attacking strength came to the fore towards the end of this game. However, their defensive frailties should continue to be a cause for concern for boss Antonio Conte.
Only once in their previous 1. Blues kept a clean sheet - and they were needlessly exposed in the first half of this game.
Azpilicueta's awkward touch when trying to deal with Ahmed Musa's cross allowed Okazaki to nip in and flick a header over Asmir Begovic, and the Foxes forward then profited from a static backline to score a second. Clear the ball first, then ask questions. Some of Chelsea's decision- making was abysmal. We started very well and we were in control of the match. Chelsea had more possession but we were very smart and clever to score twice.
Leicester V Chelsea Highlights
I am satisfied when I see this behaviour. Shinji Okazaki netted his first brace for Leicester City after failing to score in his previous 1.
