​Fuchs 'lost-it' as Leicester team mate Vardy scored against Germany

Leicester defender Christian Fuchs has admitted he was overcome with excitement as he watched team-mate Jamie Vardy score against Germany.

Vardy scored his first international goal with a sensational back-heel as England battled back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in Berlin last weekend.

Fuchs was on international duty with Austria and has admitted to Sky Sports that he was out of his seat as he watched the ball hit the back of the net.

He said: "Vardy is flying right now and I am very happy for him that he scored this amazing goal against Germany.

"We were sitting in this room in the lobby in a hotel in Austria and there were mainly Germany fans and I was simply freaking out when he scored the goal and at the end when England won. That made me happy.

"First of all because it was Vards - the way he scored the goal was outstanding - and also because it was against Germany."
