Claudio Ranieri Hails ‘Fantastic Man’ Jamie Vardy

Louis van Gaal chose to partner Michael Carrick with Bastian Schweinsteiger in midfield, and Anthony Martial with Wayne Rooney in attack. “It is fantastic for us, a very good evening”.

Diego Costa and Wayne Rooney have had contrasting fortunes to that of Vardy and Kane this season, as they’re really struggling to find the back of the net.

Renowned screenwriter Adrian Butchart says he wants to make a biopic about Leicester City and England striker Jamie Vardy’s rise from a non-league-footballer to a top-flight-record-breaker.

Bookmakers are already taking odds on who could play Vardy, with Efron the frontrunner to add to his seminal roles in That Awkward Moment and Bad Neighbours, while the Leicester frontman could even play himself!

Vardy stole the attention but Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri admitted he had guessed Van Gaal would change his system to three at the back to cope with the rampant Foxes striker and Shinji Okazaki.

“When you see the data against PSV they were the highest data physically of the whole season of Manchester United and nobody knows that”.

The Premier League began in 1992. I have the feeling that we could have won this game.

It now feels like we’re highlighting nearly every one of Smalling’s performances but that’s just how well he is doing because every week he takes it up another notch and grows more as a player. Bournemouth, Newcastle and Aston Villa are the bottom teams in the Premier League heading into Sunday.

“I think we put in a very good shift in today and in the end a point was probably a fair result”.

It was the 11th straight game in which Vardy has scored – a new Premier League best – and the first time a player has achieved that mark in the top division since Blackpool’s Stan Mortensen 65 years ago.

Editor Kevin Booth said: “It was an historic moment for the player, the club and the city”.
