GLORY GIRL MUIR DOES THE DOUBLE
Liverpool 0 LEICESTER Leicester 1 sweep. But the flip side is he will finish the season against Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea.
That made it more important to get points on the board early in his reign but his side were behind with just five minutes on the clock here when Watford skipper Deeney headed home Gerard Deulofeu’s free-kick.
Leicester – with Harry Maguire, Wes Morgan and Jonny Evans in a back three – could have conceded even earlier when Kasper Schmeichel denied Jose Holebas with a point-blank save.
There was concern when star striker Vardy stayed down after a clash of heads with Watford keeper Ben Foster but he was able to carry on.
The visitors kept looking to find a way back into the game and Wilfred Ndidi shaved the top of the bar just before Leicester grabbed a leveller.
And it was Vardy who netted after he raced onto a lovely through ball from Youri Tielemans and steered the ball beyond the advancing Foster.
But it was heartache right at the death when Deeney capitalised on Schmeichel’s poor clearance before playing in Gray who finished confidently past the Leicester keeper. Celtic fans often chant Depeche Mode’s “Just Can’t Get Enough” but that tune was blasted out at full-time by the Watford DJ as jubilant home supporters danced in the stands to complete a surreal seven days for Rodgers.
