After two disappointing losses, Leicester City managed to secure a point in the weekend’s game against Crystal Palace. Jamie Vardy scored the opening goal in the first half, showcasing his speed and skill. Stephy Mavididi then doubled Leicester’s lead after the break. However, two goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, including one from a penalty after a foul by Connor Coady, allowed Crystal Palace to salvage a point.
Mavididi scored his first Premier League goal on Saturday, with a well-taken goal. However, Wilfred Ndidi was the one who shone in Leicester’s 2-2 draw. Ndidi delivered an outstanding, man-of-the-match-worthy performance in the centre-attacking midfield position and proved his doubters wrong, who doubted his ability to play in that position. He contributed 2 assists, created 4 chances, won 8 duels, made 3 tackles, completed 2 successful dribbles, won 2 fouls, and made 1 interception.
Jamie Vardy on the scoresheet again
Vardy’s goal against Crystal Palace marked his second in Leicester’s first 4 Premier League games, a remarkable start for the 37-year-old striker. Vardy had an impressive 23/24 campaign in the championship, scoring 18 goals and providing 2 assists. Jamie Vardy has achieved a remarkable feat by scoring 138 goals and providing 14 assists in 311 appearances in the Premier League. This places him in the 15th position in the all-time Premier League scorer chart, highlighting his consistent performance and impact. Despite being often overlooked, Vardy has proven himself to be one of the most underrated strikers in the Premier League, a fact that was once again evident in his recent outstanding performance against Crystal Palace.
