Craig Shakespeare rues Leicester City's luck at key moments after Chelsea defeat
Saturday 9 September 2017 19:41, UK
Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare thinks his team aren't getting the rub of the green at key moments after losing 2-1 to Chelsea.
N'Golo Kante was at his destructive best as he returned to haunt Leicester by finding the net along with Alvaro Morata.
Jamie Vardy scored from the penalty spot but it was not enough to stop Chelsea making it three wins on the spin in the Premier League.
Islam Slimani had a big chance to open the scoring 60 seconds before Morata's strike but was denied by Thibaut Courtois.
It was a key moment in the match, according to Shakespeare.

He said: "Performance-wise thought it was okay, looking at the commitment and endeavour. History tells you Chelsea may go on and win by three or four but we showed a lot of character and resilience.
"When we got back to 2-1 we just couldn't find that final bit that was required to get something from the game and I just feel at the moment the big moments aren't going our way."
Leicester have taken just three points from their opening four matches, but three of those games have been against Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Next up for City is newly-promoted Huddersfield.
"We said the first six games would be a challenge," Shakespeare said.
We go again and have to dust ourselves down. We have a very important game against Huddersfield next week."
