'Because I'm British, I got lucky': Brendan Rodgers makes jibe at praise given to overseas managers as Leicester boss added Marcelo Bielsa to list of opponents he has beaten this season - along with Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta - in 4-1 win over Leeds

Brendan Rodgers could barely fault his players as Leicester went second in the Premier League with an impressive 4-1 win over Leeds.

Harvey Barnes, Youri Tielemans (two, one penalty) and Jamie Vardy all found the net on a night that had looked beforehand as though it could provide Rodgers' men with problems.

But the Foxes were utterly dominant on a sodden night at Elland Road and, short of a 20-minute spell in the second half after Stuart Dallas pulled a goal back, rarely looked ruffled.

Rodgers called Vardy 'world class' on the eve of the game and the former England man looked every inch that, running Germany international Robin Koch ragged throughout.
