Vardy hails Leicester pals after impressive Crystal Palace win

Jamie Vardy hailed Leicester's "attacking talent" after victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The 32-year-old sealed victory with an 80th-minute goal after Caglar Soyuncu had headed the Foxes into the lead with his first goal for the club.

Second-half substitute Demarai Gray provided the assist for Vardy, while both James Maddison and Youri Tielemans impressed again in midfield.

Vardy said: "It's a big result. We have struggled here in the past.

"We created quite a few chances, we could have probably scored in the first half but we didn't and we came out strong in the second half. The creativity and attacking talent we have is incredible. We have so many options and it can only benefit us.

"I am delighted to be at the top [of the goal scoring table] but there is a long way to go yet."
