Leicester's 2-goal Barnes: Ward deserved his chance; we've missed Vardy

Harvey Barnes was pleased with his double in Leicester City's 5-1 win at Watford on Sunday.

Jamie Vardy also struck twice in the rout.

Barnes was pleased with his goals and also for goalkeeper Danny Ward in a rare appearance: “It was a tough start with the goal. Conceding from a set-piece, we've had a lot of them this season. We've got a good result in the end. We played good football and scored five good goals.

“Wardy [Danny Ward] is a great lad. He's had to be patient. He's shown what a good keeper he is.

“We probably missed [Jamie Vardy] a little bit this season with injury. Every year he bangs goals in. We can rely on him.

“It's been a difficult season for us with ups and downs. We've had injuries. [Hopefully we can] finish the season well and take positives into pre-season."
