Leicester boss Rodgers hails Vardy after new record falls

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers praised Jamie Vardy after another personal accolade.

Vardy has become the first player to score a century of Premier League goals after turning 30.

Vardy came off the bench to complete Leicester's 4-0 win at Wolves on Sunday and reach the landmark, having already surpassed Ian Wright's previous record of 93 goals in March.

"I'm delighted for him," said Rodgers. "He's been amazing. Whether he starts or not, he gives us that hunger. He's not a selfish player at all but he loves to score goals.

"Even when he's not scoring, he still has an impact on the team."
