Leicester City Win First Match After Ranieri Sack

Leicester City kicked off their post Ranieri era with a convincing 3-1 win over Liverpool at the king Power Stadium on Monday night.

The first strike was a signature goal from Vardy who collected a long precise through pass from Marc Albrighton before racing clear and finishing low past Simon Mignolet to score his second goal in a week.

The second was an absolute cracker from Vardy's England team-mate Drinkwater, who showed superb technique to lash home his first goal of the campaign from outside the box following a clearance from a long throw.

Vardy then sealed the win with a glancing header from Christian Fuchs' cross in the second half before Philippe Coutinho stroked home a consolation goal.

The goals were the first the Foxes have scored in the league in 2017 and ended a run of five straight top-flight defeats in spectacular fashion.

Liverpool would have climbed to third with a victory but have now lost five of their past seven matches in all competitions.
