Vardy on defensive

JAMIE VARDY reckons Leicester’s defensive prowess can be as crucial as his goals. Vardy opened his account for the season with the winner against Wolves on the opening weekend. It completed successive 1-0 victories for the Foxes after beating Manchester City to lift the Community Shield. Striker Vardy said: “The lads put their bodies on the line to get blocks in.

“It shows how resilient we are in wanting to keep those clean sheets. It’s a big part of the game.”
