The clocks went back and then, in a development almost as predictable, Jamie Vardy scored against Arsenal. He has now done that 11 times but this was the first unequivocally decisive goal of the collection and it may well have been the most satisfying, too.
A calf injury had laid Vardy low for the previous two outings and he was given half an hour to make his mark as Leicester, having absorbed a vigorous opening period from the home side, sensed opportunities to stretch the game. Twenty minutes later he planted an emphatic header past Bernd Leno and the night’s work could be chalked up as a triumph for Brendan Rodgers, whose initial setup smelled of caution but ultimately laid the platform for a deserved victory that propels Leicester into fourth place.
