#2 Jamie Vardy's party rolls on

It would be no exaggeration to say that at the moment, only Robert Lewandowski is a better striker in the entire world than Jamie Vardy. The in-form forward scored his eleventh goal in his last 9 Premier League games as he gave his team the early lead in the game. The English international is currently leading the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 17 goals in 18 appearances.

Vardy made one key pass and had two shots on target as his pace and trickery bothered the Cityzens' defence on a few occasions. The striker finished beautifully over Ederson for his goal, and he could have an assist too, but his brilliant ball into the box was knocked out wide by Harvey Barnes.

The Premier League winner has now scored in eight of his last nine league games, and if Brendan Rodgers' men are going to be a consistent name in this title race, they need their main man to keep delivering. Vardy will be looking to continue his goalscoring streak as Leicester meets leaders Liverpool on Boxing Day.
