Ndidi, alongside Matthew James and Albrighton, closed in to interfere with Cesc Fabregas simultaneously.
Even though Fabregas has sharp footwork, it was difficult for him to break through with three Leicester City midfielders pressing him.
Fabregas hadn't planned to dribble through them alone. Instead, he quickly passed the ball to Moses on the right flank.
It was a fantastic pass!
Moses didn't hesitate. After receiving the ball, he immediately sent it into the penalty area toward Lukaku!
Although Moses' passing isn't quite at Su Luo's level, it was still precise.
The ball arced through the air and landed right on Lukaku's head!
The Chelsea striker leapt, looking to make a powerful header.
However, Leicester's defenders were ready.
Morgan and Maguire both made their defensive moves instantly!
Both of them are tall and physically strong defenders, and with the two of them converging on Lukaku, there was no space for him to create any danger.
His header was weak, and Schmeichel Jr. easily caught the ball.
Then came another chance for Leicester City to counterattack!
Schmeichel's pass was spot-on. After securing the ball, he saw that both Mahrez and Vardy had already raced toward Chelsea's half.
Without hesitation, Schmeichel Jr. launched a quick pass to Mahrez!
On the left flank, the "Polo King" collected the ball skillfully.
The entire King Power Stadium erupted, with tens of thousands of Leicester City fans rising to their feet, chanting Mahrez's name excitedly.
They knew that if Leicester could score another goal, it could seal the victory.
Anticipation filled the air, and every fan was on edge.
But Mahrez couldn't break through easily.
Chelsea's defensive duo, Azpilicueta and Kante, quickly closed in, stopping Mahrez's progress with a well-timed double team.
There was no way through.
Mahrez was forced to slow down and look for another option.
He passed the ball back to Ndidi!
At this moment, there was no immediate pressure on Ndidi, so after receiving the ball, he took advantage of the space to make a quick surge forward!
With a few rapid strides, Ndidi found himself at the top of Chelsea's penalty area.
The Chelsea defenders were caught off guard and rushed to close him down.
In a flash, Pedro appeared in front of Ndidi, but since Pedro isn't a natural defender, Ndidi easily beat him with a clever change of direction.
Ndidi wasted no time.
He delivered a sharp pass to Slimani, who was positioned just outside the penalty area.
Slimani, recognizing his limitations, chose not to take a shot or dribble. Instead, he let the ball slip past him with a clever dummy move, and the ball rolled perfectly to Vardy!
Tonight, Vardy was in top form.
His crucial efforts had already helped Leicester City equalize earlier in the match. Now, with the ball at his feet, Vardy was ready to strike again.
