Okazaki delighted after opening Leicester account

Shinji Okazaki was happy to open up his Leicester City goalscoring account in the weekend's victory over West Ham United.

Summer signing Okazaki impressed once again during Leicester's 2-1 victory over West Ham on Saturday and the Japanese international marked the performance with a well-taken goal.

Following the game, the former Mainz star was very pleased with the goal and more so with Leicester's victory, telling the club's official website: "I'm happy. [Jamie] Vardy played a great ball for me and I was so lucky. I shot and then from the second shot I scored the goal and I'm happy.

"We played very good, compact play. So there was lots of pressing and hard work in the first match and it was the same again today. We needed this in today's game."
