Jamie Vardy scored a match-winning brace as Leicester City beat Liverpool 3-1 tonight.

Last season's 24-goal title hero slotted home in the 28th minute before producing a quality header on the hour-mark as the Foxes secured their first Premier League win of 2017.

Vardy now has seven league goals for the season and is eager to kick on as the Foxes, now sitting 15th, attempt to push clear the bottom three.

"I've been very frustrated with the amount of goals I've got this season but hopefully these will push me on," he said after contributing to a monumental win in the wake of Claudio Ranieri's sacking.

"We needed to show that we've got that fight and win or lose, as long as the performance was right, we could hold our heads up high."
