Leicester boss Rodgers tribute to 2-goal Vardy

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers hailed Jamie Vardy after their 3-0 thumping of Crystal Palace.

Rodgers congratulated Vardy on an 'incredible achievement' after the Leicester striker netted his 100th and 101st Premier League goals.

"It's an incredible achievement," he told LCFC TV. "I've said earlier that to come into the Premier League at that age and now to get over 100 goals, it's a remarkable performance level. There's many more to come from him.

"He's a pleasure to work with. He's a real catalyst for our team and you see there, right at the very end, his speed and that is very important to this team.

"I'm delighted for him and his family. It's a great achievement."
