Vardy scores late winner

The match
Ayoze Perez gave the Foxes in the lead in the 24th minute before Oli McBurnie headed the Blades level just two minutes later to score his first goal in 15 league games.
But as the game was set to end level, Leicester won it. After a mistake in midfield, James Maddison pounced and played in Vardy who slotted his shot past Aaron Ramsdale.
Vardy, who is a fan of rivals Sheffield Wednesday, celebrated by running to the corner flag and snapping it with his boot.
