most, ability of a header put them in the lead. so far, so good. leicester have to play on the front row fit. a check on farming there wasn't any contact ruled out. everton continued to graft. the visitors stifling the usually free—flowing foxes but failing to extend their lead and whenjamie failing to extend their lead and when jamie va rdy‘s failing to extend their lead and whenjamie vardy‘s chance came, of course he made them pay. he had lea pt course he made them pay. he had leapt out of the shadows and into the thick of the action. just moments later he was inches away from another.
