Frank Lampard insists Chelsea did not drop two points in their 2-2 draw at Leicester on Saturday – despite missing a host of chances.
Chelsea took the lead through Antonio Rudiger when he fiercely met Mason Mounts corner just a minute into the second-half.

Leicester replied through Harvey Barnes, before Ben Chilwell gave the hosts a 64th-minute lead.
Rudiger completed his brace just seven minutes later, though, to earn his side a point.
Leicester could have won it late on, but Jonny Evans and Barnes wasted golden chances, but Chelsea were wasteful themselves early on.
Lampard told talkSPORT: Its not two points lost, they can rely on the Harvey Barnes chance when it was 2-2.
I can talk about the chances we had in the first-half. It was a pretty fair result.
