Jamie Vardy urges Leicester calm after Chelsea defeat

Jamie Vardy insists there's no reason for panic at Leicester City after defeat to Chelsea.

Despite a spirited fight-back Craig Shakespeare's side still crashed to defeat to lie 17th after other defeats to Arsenal and Manchester United.

Vardy, who notched his third of the season, said: “We have definitely left everything out there but it wasn't enough in the end.

“We were a bit disappointed with the first goal but up until that point it was an even game. We made changes at half-time to try and get back into it but they have scored again.

“But after that we have had quite a few chances and got ourselves back in it.

“We are still upbeat, we have had Arsenal away, Man United away and Chelsea at home and obviously Brighton at home, where we got the win.

“But we have played well in each of those games.

“The performances have been good. We have to keep that up and the points will come."
