“That area was a big issue for us” – Brendan Rodgers finally reveals why Chelsea beat Leicester 3-0
Following Chelea’s 3-0 win over Leicester City, Brendan Rodgers has admitted Chelsea won his side because the Blues were much better than his Leicester City side.
“The best team won. We were disappointing in the first half. Rodgers told LCFC TV.
“We made much more of a game of it in the second half. We needed the goal, to get to 2-1, but we didn’t quite make it. No complaints. They were much better than us.”
Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger scored Chelsea’s opener from a corner-kick and Rodgers admitted conceding from set-pieces is a big issue for Leicester City.
“It’s a big, big issue for us, the set pieces,” the Northern Irishman added. “We’re conceding way too many and, obviously, we’re going behind in games and that’s giving us a big problem.
We’ve looked at it and we need to work even harder on it and see where we’re at.”
