    That is ridiculous. Disasi, what is he doing? That was all down to concentration. Who is clued in? Who is in the right position. The goalkeeper is way out of position. He's just got to roll it back to the keeper.

    That goal comes from great pressing from Patson Daka. Disasi gets his pass all wrong and somehow fires it past Sanchez from about 30-yards from goal. Pochettino cannot believe it and stands with his hands on his hips.

    LEICESTER ARE BACK IN IT!

    A freak of an own goal.

    Axel Disasi attempts a back pass under pressure from Patson Daka, but ends up mishitting his pass and firing it straight into the net with Chelsea stopper Robert Sanchez nowhere near it.

    Comical stuff!

    That sums it up. Raheem Sterling tries to start a counter-attack but slips over, almost gifting Leicester back possession.

    Chelsea do end up keeping the ball but Cole Palmer's cross is straight at the keeper.

    Chelsea 2-0 Leicester

    Leicester have started this half really brightly as Stephy Mavididi fires in a curling cross which is just too high for Wilfred Ndidi to direct on target.

    Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall then wins his side a free-kick, drawing a clever foul.

    Much better from the Foxes.

    Hey, it ain't over until it's over. Just ask Wolves fans.

    Chelsea have never had the perfect 90 minutes, so maybe there is still something here for Leicester.

    The players are coming back out. I don't think there are any changes.

    On another afternoon we could be praising Sterling for winning a penalty - which Palmer scores - and popping up with an assist.

    Small margins in football I guess.

    The issue with Sterling is that he can be shocking for 89 minutes of the match but can still get an assist. He’s proven that again this half again with that shocking pen.

    Mark: Being a Leeds fan I was hoping Leicester would get to the semi finals, then where would they prioritise their season, not over yet I suppose, the second half to come!

    Sterling is very good at finishing when he's instinctive and quick. When he's got time, he can over think it.

    Leicester are committing players forward and trying to go for it, it's the counter attack which is hurting them.

    Daniel: Sterling's never been a natural finisher but do people seriously think Guardiola would have kept him around so long if he was no good? Oh look, another assist.

    Tim: Honestly Chelsea 2-0 up and cruising yet still people criticise.

    Leicester have had some really good moments but they need a better final pass. Chelsea are well on top.

    All Chelsea now with 30 seconds to go before the break. Conor Gallagher has a pop from range but curls one just wide.

    That's what you have to do if you're Sterling. Palmer comes alive when he makes that run into the six yard box, he knows the run will come. Sterling just knocks it and goes. It's that pace, directness and confident ball in from Sterling that plays a big part in this goal. You can't keep giving quality chances to these players, eventually, she's going to hurt you.
