Jamie Vardy ended his two-month goal drought as Leicester blitzed West Bromwich Albion 3-0 on Thursday to strengthen their grip on a Premier League top-four place and snuff out the Baggies’ revival. 

Brendan Rodgers’ men were wobbling after losing their previous two top-flight matches but produced a dazzling attacking display against the insipid visitors at the King Power Stadium. First-half goals from Jamie Vardy, Jonny Evans and Kelechi Iheanacho gave West Brom a mountain to climb and Leicester kept a firm grip on the match after the break.
