Vardy does a Grecian turn

-

JAMIE VARDy b e c a me Leicester’s oldest European goalscorer as he inspired them to a nervy win in Greece.

The 33-year-old netted a penalty while Hamza Choudhury’s strike six minutes before the break ensured Brendan Rodgers’ men maintained their 100-per-cent start to Group G.

Muamer Tankovic scored after the interval to make it an anxious night before missing a golden chance to make it 2-2.

But the Foxes survived an improved second-half display from the hosts.

Rodgers said: ‘It was a great win considerin­g all the players we have missing.’

Leicester remain joint top with Braga, who beat Zorya Luhansk, with the Portuguese side travelling to the King Power Stadium next week.
