Comments:

League position: 3rd With his first goal in this game, Jamie Vardy became the 29th player to score 100 goals in the Premier League. He also became the fourth player to score 100 or more goals for Leicester City in the top division and the first since Arthur Lochhead in League Division One in 1933. This was the Foxes' second win in their last nine games in the Premier League (lost three). 13 of City's 17 wins so far in this Premier League season had now been against teams currently in the bottom half of the table.

Comments:
