In the past, Jamie Vardy led Leicester to the Premier League championship; now, he must work to keep them from being relegated.
The 36-year-old striker scored his first goal for the club in 973 minutes across all competitions on Tuesday night in a 1-1 draw at Elland Road against fellow strugglers Leeds after coming off the bench.
As a result, Leicester are now one point above the bottom three, but if Everton defeats Newcastle on Thursday, they will fall below them.
Jamie Vardy rescues a crucial point for Leicester City
The possibility is enormous, according to Vardy, who also had a score disallowed for offside. “Five more cup finals remain. Tonight, we’ll take in the point and then return to our seats to rest.
“Strikers know they’re judged by goals,” manager Dean Smith continued. Even if his season hasn’t been particularly successful, he still deserves praise for the penalty he won against Wolves on Saturday and the goal he scored tonight.
Who knows, by the end of the season, he might have eight goals.
Dean Smith has been appointed as Leicester City manager
It was his 135th Premier League goal, which just goes to show how good he is. It was nice to see him score after a long time.
He has taken many opportunities like the one he took today in the past, so if we can keep creating opportunities like that, he will take them.
