Axel Disasi Own Goal From 35 Yards Sparks Chelsea Collapse vs. Leicester City

Chelsea led Leicester City 2-0 at half-time in Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final at Stamford Bridge but it was 2-2 by the 62nd minute.

A bizarre own goal scored by defender Axel Disasi started the Chelsea collapse six minute into the second half.

Disasi attempted to play a pass back to goalkeeper Robert Sanchez but, under pressure from Patson Daka, mishit the ball and sent it flying into the net from 35 yards.

Leicester's equalizer arrived 11 minutes later when Stephy Mavididi scored his 11th goal of the season with a fine solo strike.

Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer had earlier got the goals for Chelsea.

Chelsea also missed a penalty in the first half when Raheem Sterling was denied by Leicester keeper Jakub Stolarczyk.
