Drinkwater earns champions Leicester a draw at Chelsea
Premier League champions Leicester fought back from a goal down to draw away to the team they deposed, Chelsea.
Leicester finish the campaign top of the table, 10 points clear of Arsenal, while Chelsea end in ninth place.
The Blues found goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel in inspired form early on as he kept out strikes from midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Willian.
Fabregas opened the scoring from the penalty spot, before Danny Drinkwater's brilliant equaliser from 30 yards out.
