Vardy delighted with late Leicester equaliser for Leeds draw

Jamie Vardy was delighted to score in Leicester City's 1-1 draw at Leeds on Tuesday.

Vardy struck in the 80th minute via James Maddison's pass before having a potential winner ruled out for offside.

Leeds winger Luis Sinisterra had opened the scoring in the first half with a header from Jack Harrison's cross.

The point takes Leicester out of the bottom three and Vardy later said, "It could be massive. We have five cup finals left. We'll enjoy the point tonight then get back in and recover.

"We were on top. Patson [Daka] came on as well so we had extra pace up there. We wanted to stretch them to get that space. We did it at the end. Luckily I was there to put it in.

"The gaffer has come in and every manager has their tactics but it comes down to defending one box and attacking the other. We have to keep working.

"I probably can't say what I want to say on TV because I'll get done but it's been a weird season for me. Hopefully the goals keep coming."
