There was the time to score two goals today.” Leicester broke the deadlock against Chelsea six minutes into the second half, with Jamie Vardy grabbing the only goal of the game.“The match changed after the goal,” said Sarri.“We played well for 55 minutes, after the goal the reaction was not the right reaction. We reacted a little shocked and with mental confusion. “We had to only keep playing like we did before the goal, there was time to recover.“I think that of course in some situations we were unlucky but I think that we could have done something better.” Chelsea will be back in action on Boxing Day when they make the short trip to Watford, with it possible that they will have slipped out of the Champions League places by the time they take to the field.</blockquote>
