Liverpool even had a staggering 17-corner count to their name which they failed to utilise, while Vardy made full use of the two chances that fell in his way in the second half at the King Power Stadium.

Two second-half goals from Jamie Vardy helped Leicester extend their lead at the top of the Premier League, whilst Liverpool slumped to eight in the league table.
As far as betting is concerned, I think that taking Leicester City to win this match is the best bet.
Vardy’s team-mate Danny Drinkwater added: “Jamie Vardy’s first goal was incredible”. He watched the ball, watched the opponent and watched the keeper. “Now there is a fantastic match in Manchester and it’s important for us to recover our energy”.
The commentator, getting progressively louder and louder, also called the goal “outrageous” and “a goal you would expect a team who are going to win the league to score”.
The club could be about to claim their greatest ever honour as Ranieri continues to steer Leicester to the title, with Arsenal now capitulating in their challenge leaving Man City as the only real contender left.
It was the morning after the night before for Leicester City fans after a victory over Liverpool that will long in the memory.
They should have had a penalty soon after when Moreno clumsily bundled over Shinji Okazaki.
German Klopp felt his players could have taken something from the game but ultimately their decision making cost them.
“We looked at videos of how we played at their place and we all knew that it wasn’t good enough”, said Vardy. For all of the Foxes’ neat play, it came from a route one ball from deep by Mahrez.
Lovren naively allowed the ball to drop and bounce up invitingly to Vardy.
If Klopp and his players thought they had a hard January in terms of fixture congestion, February will offer much the same.
But while Klopp was disappointed with his side’s performance, he still credited Vardy for his strike.
His brace, in front of England boss Roy Hodgson no less and taking his season tally up to 18 goals, kept Leicester three points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

First, the biggest sensation of the season, Riyad Mahrez executed a ideal curling free-kick, but his 20 yard effort missed the target.
