Leicester City moved into second in the Premier League as goals from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison downed Arsenal 2-0 to cap a dominant display at the King Power Stadium.
Heading into Saturday’s encounter in search of a fourth successive league win, Leicester failed to capitalise on some basic errors from Arsenal prior to Vardy’s well-worked 68th-minute strike – his 11th of the season.
Wilfred Ndidi had previously gone the closest to breaking the deadlock, hitting the crossbar early in the second half, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a goal rightly ruled out for offside at the other end.
Maddison settled the game with a fantastic second, making sure Brendan Rodgers’ side continued their sparkling form and, temporarily at least, slot in behind former employers Liverpool in the table.
