At the end of a week which Jamie Vardy spent in the surrounds of the Royal courts of justice supporting his wife in the “Wagatha Christie” libel trial, the Leicester striker returned to the day job, proudly pointing to his name on his shirt after scoring the second goal in a comfortable victory against Southampton.
Vardy clinically finished inside the box and instantly made a beeline for the away supporters, who had earlier taken great pleasure in singing “Rooney”. Goals by James Maddison and Ayoze Pérez bookended the scoring, with James Ward-Prowse’s second-half penalty a mere consolation as the visitors ended the season with a fourth successive defeat.
