Vardy Scores Brace For Leicester, As Everton Beat Tottenham

 

Jamie Vardy was on target twice as Leicester City made an easy work of returning West Brom in the English Premier League on Sunday.

The Foxes were impressive as they started the 2020-2021 season on a winning note as the former England skipper scored two spot-kicks in the second half to secure the win.

Leicester took the lead through newly signed defender Timothy Castagne who scored before the hour mark on his debut.

Two second-half spot-kicks in the 74th minute and ten minutes later saw the Foxes to a flying start at the Hawthorn.

In Sunday’s second game, Tottenham and Jose Mourinho were silenced as Dominic Calvert Lewin’s 55th-minute strike was enough to seal the win for Carlo Ancelotti’s men on away ground.

New signing from Chelsea, Willian provided two assists as Alexander Lacazette, Gabriel, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored for Gunners at the Craven Cottage.
