Leicester Striker-Jamie Vardy close to signing a New Contract

With Roy Hodgson watching from the stands, as well as Adrian Butchart, the screenwriter who plans to make a Hollywood movie about Vardy, the Leicester striker could not have picked a better night to produce one of his best performances of the season.

Liverpool were turned over 2-0 by Leicester City at The King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Against Leicester, Liverpool had nearly two-thirds of possession, a dozen corners and 14 shots on goal.

The striker’s brilliant brace maintained the Foxes’ three-point lead over Manchester City – ahead of their top-of-the-table showdown on Saturday.

Simon Mignolet was called upon shortly afterwards when Vardy chipped the ball in for Shinji Okazaki, but his header was straight at the Liverpool keeper, who tipped it onto the top of the crossbar.

“It’s not over – we need to stay positive and be more efficient in the next games to come”.

“You saw that this (first) goal made the difference tonight”.

Klopp also explained he is now convinced Leicester can win the Premier League title this season after seeing them meet his team twice. “It was awesome because we beat a very good team, very well organised”.

“A result like that settles the nerves of the fans, the players, even the manager”, Lingard said.

Mesut Ozil had three clear chances to break the deadlock in the first half as Arsenal struggled to break down a resolute Southampton defense.

Klopp told BBC Sport: “I’m not too fine with our game today”.

“But with a few things done differently we could have won this game”.

The first was a sensational strike in the 60th minute to give Barclays Premier League-leading Leicester a 1-0 lead, and it is absolutely worth reliving.

Vardy then killed Liverpool off in the 72nd minute when he scored his second, getting on the end of a deflected ball which went his way and firing past Mignolet.

Liverpool now sit 11 points adrift of the Champions League places, while the Foxes edge ever closer to becoming the most unlikely champions of the Premier League era. “In a game like that when you create chances you want to win”. “We will be back on that training field and looking forward to Man City next”.
