Leicester's Ricardo Pereira Says Jamie Vardy 'Ruthless' Like Cristiano Ronaldo

Leicester City right-back Ricardo Pereira said Jamie Vardy shares a clinical streak in front of goal with Portugal team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Vardy netted his 11th goal of the campaign as Leicester beat Arsenal 2-0 on Saturday.

Per Goal's Peter Lynch, Pereira noted a similarity between his compatriot and the Englishman:

"They are very different people, but they are both ruthless in front of goal. It's important to have a player like that. When he has a chance he scores.

"In some games where we don't have many chances, it's important to take them and score one goal.
