In what was only likely to be a Sunday lunchtime trip to Stamford Bridge for some FA Cup action against lower-league opponents, I was one of the Chelsea fans treated to a bit of a classic.
The first half was plain sailing for the Blues, however just 17 minutes into the second half they were level again against the Championship leaders.
They continued to make a real mess of things, with Raheem Sterling in particular having an afternoon to forget.
However, a piece of magic from Cole Palmer opened Leicester up in the final moments, before Noni Madueke struck a brilliant fourth.
Mauricio Pochettino elected to start a pretty strong team yesterday, perhaps knowing that the Blues would be having a weekend off football now due to the international break.
One player though who did start again was Trevoh Chalobah, who injuries to the rest of the squad have forced to become somewhat of a regular in recent weeks.
This is despite the fact that he hadn’t played a minute for the Blues in any competition for more than half the campaign.

Chalobah proves his worth
The expectation amongst many is that he will be sold by the club. Realistically, if he hadn’t of been injured up to now he probably would have already left the club.
However, given the fact that he has been playing with different partners at the back and in different systems, he has actually been performing at an extremely high level.
With Chelsea still linked to the signing of a new centre-back in the summer, many will have watched the Englishman today and wondered what exactly the need is.
Even when Levi Colwill returns to fitness, he may find it a bit harder displacing Chalobah, who also forced Thiago Silva to watch all of yesterday’s entertaining 90 minutes from the bench.
