What 'crazy' Antonio Rudiger did to Reece James during Chelsea celebrations against Leicester

Thomas Tuchel will have been desperate to see Chelsea bounce back from their disappointing draw with Burnley by taking all three points at Leicester - and that is what they did.

Leicester City were never given a chance to get into the game as goals from Antonio Rudiger and N'Golo Kante put the Blues 2-0 up inside 30 minutes - Ben Chilwell and Reece James unsurprisingly providing the assists.

As the Foxes started to grow into the game in the second half, two Tuchel substitutes combined to make the points safe, Hakim Ziyech finding Christian Pulisic who finished through Kasper Schmeichel's legs.

It was a result that moved the Blues six points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with the chasing teams still to play.

But despite witnessing one of the best performances of the season so far, Tuchel still wanted more.

"There are still things to improve. Technical mistakes in the last third, our conversion of chances in the final third," he told his post-match press conference.

"I am happy but there is always room for improvement. The players got their full praise after the match, they did a good match. It is a team effort, a huge effort that we put in and I am happy that the team got the win they deserved."

Rudiger once again stood out but fans noticed an odd moment after his headed opener. While celebrating with Chilwell, the German appears to lean over and bite James on the top of the head.

His future remains undecided but Rudiger remains a big fan favourite. He is a player known for being somewhat of an eccentric but it is what so many Chelsea fans love about the player.

Even when he's biting heads.
