Wilfred Ndidi was at fault as Mason Mount had a moment to savour but the Leicester City midfielder pegged Chelsea back.

Match Report
Chelsea were unable to close out their first win of the Frank Lampard era as Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi enjoyed a redemption tale in Sunday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge.
Mason Mount embarrassed Ndidi to score his first Chelsea goal in the seventh minute as the hosts started superbly.
But, as in the 4-0 loss at Manchester United seven days ago and the UEFA Super Cup penalty shoot-out defeat to Liverpool in midweek, the Blues were unable to sustain their efforts over the course of the contest.
Ndidi levelled as James Maddison made life increasingly uncomfortable for Chelsea after the interval, meaning Brendan Rodgers' side have started their campaign with back-to-back draws.
Match Events
7' GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Leicester (Mount)
It’s an absolutely horrible goal to give away for Leicester City, whose attempt to play it out of the back is spoiled by some very lax dribbling from Ndidi in front of his goal.
Mount manages to nip in undetected and win possession, before flat-footing Schmeichel with a great finish!
26' CLOSE! Kante's shot cleared off
Wonderful play by Chelsea as Pulisic sprays it to the left for Emerson, whose centring pass is met with a deft backheel flick.
Kante arrives late in the penalty area and looks to hammer the ball past Schmeichel from inside the six-yard box, but a lunging Fuchs gets enough of a touch to it to put the midfielder off his shot!
21' NICE TRY! Mount's header saved
Pedro toys with the defence, cutting inside before shifting it to the right-hand side for Azpilicueta.
The right-back puts a cross towards the waiting Mount, whose header at goal is directed right at Schmeichel.
67' GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Leicester (Ndidi)
The midfielder looks extremely emotional after putting Leicester City level with a thumping header from a Maddison corner.
He was marked by Azpilicueta, but the right-back had little chance against the imposing Nigeria international!
His mistake gave Chelsea the lead, but he’s made it right with a finish at the other end.
77' CLOSE! Vardy's shot wide out
Maddison is at it again with another unbelievable throughball, putting it behind Christensen for Vardy to attack with his pace.
The striker takes a touch to put the ball on his right and goes for the far post with a curler, but it narrowly misses the post on its way out!
