We don’t see those things so often in the Premier League – defenders’ clumsiness at its best to decide the game.And that’s precisely what happened on Saturday afternoon at the King Power Stadium, as Leicester City lost to Chelsea 2-1, mostly due to Wout Faes’ painful-to-watch first-half mistake.The Belgium international fought for the ball with Nicolas Jackson around the 15th-minute mark some 25 yards out, but instead of clearing it smoothly, he reacted clumsily. Despite two or even three attempts to deny Jackson the opportunity to grab the ball, Faes failed and allowed the Blues’ striker to break the deadlock easily.It seemed to have stunned the hosts as they struggled to bounce back or at least opt for some serious attacking in the next 15 or 20 minutes.On the other hand, Enzo Maresca’s boys scored another one through Noni Madueke, but it was rightfully voided due to an offside.Cole Palmer looked eager to add some more numbers to his goal-scoring tally, but a tad bit of luck prevented him from doing so against the Foxes. Or shall we say – his own teammate.WATCH PALMER’S CHANCE AND MADUEKE’S ‘CLEARANCE’ HEREPalmer was inches away from scoring one of his trademark tap-ins from close before the ball hit Madueke almost on the goal line and went wide.Thankfully for the visitors, they weren’t punished for that, but they wrapped up the tie through Enzo Fernandez.The Foxes’ custodian stopped Jackson’s header, but the Argentinian made no mistake with a rebound, which made it 2-0 in Maresca’s first game against his former side.All that the home side was able to do was peg one back thanks to Ayew’s stoppage-time penalty.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 12SaturdayLeicester City – Cheslea 1-2 (0-1)/Ayew 90+5 pen – Jackson 15, Fernandez 75/18:00: (1.37) Arsenal (5.10) Nott.Forest (10.0)18:00: (1.63) Aston Villa (3.80) Crystal Palace (5.70)18:00: (2.40) Bournemouth (3.60) Brighton (3.00)18:00: (2.45) Everton (3.50) Brentford (3.05)18:00: (1.65) Fulham (3.70) Wolverhampton (5.60)20:30: (1.55) Man.City (4.20) Tottenham (5.90)Sunday17:00: (9.50) Southampton (5.90) Liverpool (1.28)19:30: (5.40) Ipswich (3.80) Man.Utd.
