Leicester now the focus for Jamie Vardy after England strikes

By PA Sport

Jamie Vardy hopes his goalscoring form for England will transfer to the Premier League - although he is not dwelling on his superb effort against Germany.

The Leicester striker's backheeled finish lit-up a famous 3-2 win in Berlin and he scored again at Wembley on Tuesday as England lost 2-1 to the Netherlands.

Southampton are next up for league leaders Leicester - live on Super Sunday - and Vardy is looking forward to adding to his 19 goals for City this season.

"They can only be good for my confidence - going into training on the back of two goals and I'll hopefully be scoring at the weekend," Vardy said.

"I've not seen the Germany goal that many times to be honest. I don't really look at my goals after I've scored.

"My Mrs messaged me saying it was all over Twitter but I'd rather just relax if possible."

Vardy played alongside Leicester team-mate Danny Drinkwater against the Netherlands - the first time two Foxes players had started for England in 42 years - and Vardy paid tribute to Drinkwater's contribution.

"He's been playing brilliant week in week out, I think he deserves his chance and he was named man of the match," Vardy added.

"He's been typical Danny, he settles in quickly, he has a laugh and a joke and he's been brilliant."
