Brilliant Vardy helps leaders Leicester down Liverpool

Jamie Vardy's stunning double strike gave leaders Leicester City a 2-0 win at home to Liverpool on Tuesday to maintain their title charge and inflate the England striker's lofty stock to new heights. Leicester, who maintained their three-point lead at the top of the table, had twice tested Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet in the first half with the Belgian brilliantly tipping over a Shinji Okazaki header and a curling effort from Riyad Mahrez.
