Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers said it is “a privilege” to work with Jamie Vardy after the striker’s “phenomenal achievement” of reaching 100 Premier League goals in the win over Crystal Palace. And it is a phenomenal achievement — 101 goals, coming into the Premier League at the age that he has. Vardy brought up his 100th Premier League goal in his 206th appearance - not quick enough to place him in the division’s top 10 fastest to the milestone. His second goal was classic Vardy, though, with the striker drawing on his pace to beat the defence, and his deft touch to finish - indicative of him at his best. Only Norwich (16) and Watford (14) have failed to score in more different Premier League games than Palace this season (13).
