Despite trailing 2-0, they rallied back when Axel Disasi’s own goal offered a glimmer of hope, followed by Stephy Mavididi’s equalizer. However, Callum Doyle’s red card turned the tide, as Leicester’s defensive efforts couldn’t withstand Chelsea’s pressure.

The match showcased Chelsea’s season of highs and lows, with moments of brilliance overshadowed by comedic errors. Raheem Sterling’s penalty miss, an extraordinary own goal by Axel Disasi, and a dismal free-kick highlighted the chaotic nature of the game.

However, there was applause when he was substituted off the pitch, reflecting the complex emotions of the match.

Critics and football enthusiasts alike have expressed dismay over Raheem Sterling’s performance, particularly his shocking penalty miss against Leicester. Despite moments of brilliance, Sterling’s inconsistency during the game has sparked debate among pundits and fans.
