Now it's time to believe! Vardy's golden boot sinks Liverpool to keep Leicester five points clear at the top of the Premier League
LEICESTER 2-0 LIVERPOOL BY MARTIN SAMUEL AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: Yes, it was a long ball over the top. And yes, it was a goal that comprised all of one pass, and one shot. But sometimes that is really all it needs. And it can still be quite, quite beautiful. The Jamie Vardy goal that helped keep Leicester top of the league going into Saturday's match at Manchester City is destined to be shown time and again. Even if Leicester do not pull off the greatest achievement in the history of English club football - which winning this league would be - Vardy's goal will be remembered. Certainly those present will not forget it including, no doubt, Roy Hodgson, the England manager. It was not just a timely goal in terms of its effect on the title race, but one that also serves to end a debate about Leicester's style of play. There are no long balls, or short balls. No right or wrong way to win. There are good passes and bad passes. Good passes can be long or short - they just have to serve a purpose. And that is what the long pass struck by Riyad Mahrez after 60 minutes did.
