Cesar Azpilicueta scores a spectacular equaliser as Chelsea come from two goals down to beat Leicester 4-2 in EFL Cup third round

Chelsea came from two goals down to beat Leicester City in the EFL Cup third round on Tuesday night, with the pick of their goals being a stunning strike by right-back Cesar Azpilicueta.

Antonio Conte's side found themselves 2-0 behind after just 34 minutes at the King Power Stadium following a brace from the Premier League champions' Japan international forward Shinji Okazaki.

However, Gary Cahill's near-post header in first-half stoppage time got the visitors back into the game before Azpilicueta's wonder goal brought the Blues back on level terms four minutes into the second period.

The home team probably thought there was little danger when the ball dropped invitingly to Azpilicueta just outside the penalty box, only for the Spain full back to unleash a powerful volley past a helpless Ron-Robert Zieler in Leicester's goal.
