Chelsea discover Eden Hazard heir vs Leicester as familiar problem remains for Thomas Tuchel

There comes a point in the lifespan of a successful television series that ideas finally run short, and the only thing left to do is a clip show of standout moments from previous episodes. And that is, in essence, what we got this evening during Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.

There was comical Marcos Alonso defending followed by an inevitable make-up goal from the Spaniard. There were countless chances missed, the most glaring of which was by Christian Pulisic. And there was a reckless and entirely unnecessary lunging challenge from Antonio Rudiger.

Given this was game number 62 of the season for Thomas Tuchel's side, it should have come as no surprise that much of what played out at Stamford Bridge had been seen before by those in attendance. Not that it made the experience any less frustrating for Chelsea supporters.
