Grateful Vardy savors moment

By Agence France-Presse in Leicester, UK | China Daily | Updated: 2016-05-09 07:53

Jamie Vardy struggled to sum up his feelings after scoring twice in Saturday's 3-1 win over Everton, setting the scene for Leicester City's Premier League trophy celebrations.

Vardy also missed a penalty on his return from a two-game suspension to take his tally for the campaign to 24 goals - one shy of Tottenham Hotspur marksman Harry Kane, his England colleague.

The 29-year-old Vardy was a non-league player as recently as 2012, having been playing in England's seventh tier two years earlier, and his rags-to-riches rise has come to symbolize longshot Leicester's 5,000-1 triumph.
