He always seemed a natural scorer and his stats bear that out - 56 goals in 81 starts. But, of course, this disguises the rest of his story which is the 104 additional appearances as a sub.
City and Leicester most of the time played with that one main striker and to that extent it became incredibly hard for him to secure a regular starting spot. This run of starts has seen him score 11 in 8 games and that has made him very hard to drop.
It also means that Leicester have a natural successor to Vardy. To that extent, the £25m that they paid for him is starting to look very good value.

Interesting how Leicester have now changed their shape so that they can play Vardy AND Iheanacho. Two mobile 9s who can stretch defences isn't a challenge most defences have to face. He's only 24 as well, I'd have assumed he was older
Great run of games for Willock. His last 3 games for Newcastle.
Scored against Liverpool in 95th minute to earn a draw Scored against West Ham in 82nd minute to earn a win Scored against Spurs in 85th minute to earn a draw
Where is he supposed to put his foot? Or is he supposed to let Chillwell have the ball?
Just seen it. Terrible decision that should be overturned on appeal surely? There was even a similar clearance later in the game that (rightly) resulted in no action at all. Moyes has called it out as a "rank, rotten..." decision so will probably get fined on top to rub salt in the wound.
If assistants indicated their decision in a timely fashion then VAR could just check if there's an obvious error. If there's a need for lines then it's a close call and you just go with the onfield decision. Would make the whole process a lot faster and a lot less controversial, just needs linos to do their actual job
Fook sake Leicester!!... They've controlled this game yet 1-0 down against Palace!!
Will give him credit but I wondered if Eze would be another player typical of the Championship who'd struggle to step up to the Premier League but played a lovely pass for Zaha to score (unfortunately!!)

I used to want the top 6 to lose.
Now I really want them to lose.

Wilson equalised in the 90th minute, ruled out because of handball
Willock then goes and scores in the 95th minute, goal stands
Have that you pricks.

Tight call on an offside so assistant keeps his flag down. Vydra doesn't celebrate as he knows its very close. Burnley 3 up so no major talking point.
I just don't understand assistants being told to keep flags down when a forward is 3 yards offside on other occasions.

Weirdly the Chelsea game was scheduled for the same day they'll meet in the FA Cup final!
