‘Great to see’, ‘huge shift’: Some Leicester City fans praise forward’s display vs West Brom – originally posted on Sportslens.com
A selection of Leicester City fans on Twitter were pleased with Jamie Vardyβs performance during the 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Thursday.
The Foxes recently suffered back-to-back defeats in the league, but they made amends with a comprehensive 3-0 triumph over the Baggies last night.
Vardy was one of the standout performers with a goal and assist. He opened the scoring in the 23rd minute after the ball was put on a plate by Timothy Castagne.
The Foxes doubled their advantage through a Jonny Evans header before Kelechi Iheanacho continued his fine scoring form with the Foxesβ third in the 36th minute.
Vardy has recently formed a terrific partnership with Iheanacho upfront, and not for the first time, he delivered an assist for the Nigerian coming off the left flank.
It was a fine performance from the 35-year-old, who ended a 12-match goal drought in all competitions, his longest goalless streak since December 2016.
A number of the clubβs faithful were pleased for him, and here are a few reactions.

Vardyβs return to scoring ways has come at the right time for the Foxes, as they aim to ensure that they remain in the Champions League places.
A run of back-to-back league defeats had seen Chelsea and West Ham United catch up, but the victory over the Baggies seems them four points clear of the London duo in third.
They still have plenty to do to finish in the top four as they finish the campaign with tough fixtures against Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
They also have an FA Cup final against the Blues in the middle of the difficult run of games.
