The Foxes had now failed to score in one of their 17 away games so far in this Premier League season. Jamie Vardy had now scored eight goals in his last eight appearances in the Premier League. He had now scored 103 goals for Leicester City in all competitions so equalling Gary Lineker’s total for the Foxes. City had now taken 602 points from their 493 games in the Premier League.
