Leicester 2-0 Watford: Jamie Vardy brace settles win as the Foxes overcome stubborn Watford to extend lead at the top of the Championship table

Jamie Vardy came off the bench to clinch another victory for table-topping Leicester as they bested a stubborn Watford side at the King Power Stadium.

Vardy's second-half brace means Enzo Maresca's team go three points clear at the top of the Championship table, with Ipswich not in action until tonight's tea-time kick-off against West Brom.

It looked like Watford would frustrate the league leaders for the majority of the game, with the Foxes struggling to find a way through Valerien Ismael's Hornet's defence.

However, once again it was Vardy to Leicester's rescue, as the former England striker netted his sixth goal of the season with 15 minutes to go, to maintain the club's spot at the top of the Championship table.
