Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri admits that nerves may have led to mistakes after his side are swept aside by Chelsea.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has admitted that nerves may have played a part in his side's 3-0 downfall at Chelsea this afternoon.

The champions were second best in the contest at Stamford Bridge, failing to find a response as goals from Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Victor Moses helped the hosts to all three points.

The Foxes have just two wins all season and have now tasted defeat in all four of their away games, conceding 17 goals in the process.

"When you concede a goal from a corner again it is clear - you come to Chelsea and your attention must be at the maximum. We made mistakes," Ranieri told reporters afterwards. "We tried to react and the second half was much better. Now we must react because we have the Champions League on Tuesday.

"If we scored the goal when we create a chance we can re-open the match. But our approach to the match was not good. Maybe we were a little nervous.

"It is better that this happens now and we can react than at the end of the season. We must concentrate more."

The result left Leicester 13th in the Premier League table, while the Blues moved up to fifth.
