Vardy reaches EPL milestone with double in Leicester City’s 3-1 win over Fulham

Jamie Vardy scored his 100th and 101st goals for Leicester City to seal a 3-1 home Premier League win over Fulham on Saturday.
The victory gave new manager Brendan Rodgers his first win as manager of the club.
Rodgers was able to breathe a sigh of relief as England striker Vardy scored twice in the closing stages after setting up his team’s opener.
He had started his tenure with a 2-1 defeat at Watford.
Vardy made a selfless contribution in the 21st minute when he beat the offside trap and laid the ball on to Youri Tielemans.
The Belgian midfielder, on loan from Monaco,  then netted his first Premier League goal with a simple tap-in.
Substitute Floyd Ayite equalised shortly after the break when he surged into the penalty area and beat goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel with a shot.
He was lucky, however, as the shot took a deflection off two Leicester defenders.
Both keepers made good saves before Vardy restored Leicester’s lead with a trademark finish in the 78th minute.
The England international drilled in a low shot past Sergio Rico from inside the penalty box.
Vardy sealed the home side’s win with a scrambled close-range finish in the 86th minute.
The victory lifted Leicester into the 10th position and left Fulham second bottom and staring at relegation.
