AEK Athens 1-2 Leicester: Jamie Vardy drills home penalty before Hamza Choudhury strikes as Foxes make two wins out of two in Europa League group stage

Jamie Vardy added another record to his remarkable career by becoming the club’s oldest scorer in European competition as Leicester secured a fine away win over AEK Athens.

On his return to the starting line-up after injury, Vardy – who turns 34 on January 11 – drilled in an 18th-minute penalty to set Leicester on the road to their second straight Europa League victory.

Hamza Choudhury scored only his second goal for Leicester six minutes before half-time to put the visitors in control and although substitute Muamer Tankovic pulled a goal back for AEK early in the second half, Leicester remained dangerous and Cengiz Under hit the post.
