Brendan Rodgers urged Gareth Southgate to take James Maddison to the World Cup after the ace destroyed Nottingham Forest.
Maddison struck twice, either side of Harvey Barnes’ effort, including a free-kick. His heroics buried Forest as the Foxes climbed off the bottom of the table at the visitors’ expense.
Maddison, 25, who has one England cap, got a standing ovation when subbed late on after taking his tally to five goals before teeing up Patson Daka. He now has 14 goal involvements since May - the joint second highest in the Premier League - along with Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne. Only Erling Haaland has more with 17.
