Vibrant Leicester go second with 4-1 win at Leeds
Jamie Vardy inspired and Youri Tielemans scored twice as Leicester City enjoyed an impressive 4-1 win at Leeds United on Monday which moves them up to second in the Premier League.
The Foxes, who've now won all away games this season, grabbed the lead in the second minute when Vardy intercepted a poor back-pass from Leeds defender Robin Koch and set-up Harvey Barnes to slot home.
Brendan Rodgers' side doubled their lead in the 21st minute when Marc Albrighton whipped in a cross and Vardy's low header struck Leeds keeper Illan Meslier in the face and fell to Tielemans to fire home.
Leeds arrived strongly following the break and pulled an objective back three minutes following the restart whenever a deep cross from Stuart Dallas experienced a crowded box and into the far corner of the web.
Pablo Hernandez then hit the bar for Leeds with an excellent effort from the edge of the box but Leicester restored their two goal advantage with a beautifully worked third goal.
Substitute James Maddison found Cengiz Under who showed great finesse to choose Vardy who slotted home.
Maddison was associated with the fourth goal, in stoppage time, when Mateusz Klich challenged him from behind and after a VAR review, referee Andre Marriner awarded a penalty which Tielemans confidently converted.
