Leicester City 2-1 Swansea City: Jamie Vardy scores his first goal of the season before Wes Morgan secures victory for Premier League champions

Daily Mail | August 27, 2016

Claudio Ranieri called it.

Pre-match, the Leicester City manager was asked if opposing defences had figured Jamie Vardy out after last season’s top scorer failed to find the net in the first two matches of this campaign.

‘I am not worried’ the Italian said, ‘he is a natural goalscorer’. He was not wrong.
