Poor finishing cost Leicester and Chelsea a win, as the two sides played out a 0-0 draw in the final game of the season.

Ross Barkley should have opened the scoring early on for Chelsea when Jorginho chipped the ball over the Leicester defence for his fellow midfielder to run onto but his fierce shot was blocked by Kasper Schmeichel's chest.

Cesar Azpilicueta slipped not once, but twice, to allow Jamie Vardy a run through on goal but when the crunch moment came he sent a poor pass to Youri Tielemans, who could not fashion a meaningful chance from a poor angle, allowing Willy Caballero the chance to save.

The best chance of the opening period fell to Gonzalo Higuain after fine work between Willian and Marcos Alonso allowed the latter to send a pass across the six-yard box but the Argentine bungled the opportunity with the goal gaping.

There were fond farewells for Leicester as Shinji Okazaki and Danny Simpson were brought on for their final appearances, much to the appreciation of the home supporters.

For Chelsea, Eden Hazard eventually came on in the second half, potentially for the last time as rumours about his future continue.

Tielemans had the chance to win the match late on when he found space on the edge of the area but he smashed a wayward shot high and wide.

The Portuguese full-back offered plenty of energy down the right, instigating a number of counter-attacks and kept Willian and then Hazard quiet, which was impressive on a quiet day for football at the King Power Stadium.
