Premier League: Leicester's Jamie Vardy shrugs off heroics against Manchester United
Monday 22 September 2014 17:38, UK
Jamie Vardy played down his leading role in Leicester’s stunning comeback win over Manchester United and has already turned his attention to the next match.
Making his first start of the season, the former non-league striker scored Leicester's fourth goal, won two penalties and set up the opener for Leonardo Ulloa at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.
Vardy was unsurprisingly named man-of-the-match, but preferred to talk about his team-mates, who fought back from 3-1 down to complete a famous 5-3 triumph over United.

"The fans were amazing and the players were amazing,” the 27-year-old told At The Races.
"It's not about me scoring - it's about the team winning, and that's all that matters."
Leicester lifted themselves up to seventh in the table and will attempt to continue their early season form at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
"We haven't had the easiest starts to the season, but we've already shown what we are all about," said Vardy.
"It's on to the next game now and trying to get three points.
"There's no easy games - it doesn't matter who you are playing - so we have to get on the training ground and find out their (Crystal Palace's) strengths and weaknesses and exploit them, like we did on Sunday."
