Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was delighted with their winner against Wolves on Saturday.

City's goal came from the right boot of Vardy, however the assist was just as impressive after Ricardo Pereira breezed past João Moutinho and Marçal before locating the No.9 in the box.

Rodgers said: “He was unfortunate today, Jamie, not to get more than one. Had had a lot of opportunities, but his goal was a real top striker's goal.

“Ricky (Ricardo Pereira) does brilliantly on the side. It was a great piece of skill, cuts in, makes the cross and it's a great finish by Jamie.

“It was wonderful improvisation, and he sticks it away so well."
