Jamie Vardy continued his red-hot form in front of goal form when he netted against Crystal Palace on Sunday in a comfortable 2-0 win. With that goal, Vardy became the first player to reach double figures in the Premier League in the 2019-20 season. And doing so in the company of players like Sergio Aguero, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane is quite a feat.

Premier League: Leicester City vs Crystal Palace
Leicester City entered the fixture having scored 12 times in their last two away matches in all competitions. The game was, however, a difficult one as anticipated by the visitors. But two goals from defender Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy were enough to see the Foxes through for all three points at the Selhurst Park.
After a cagey first half, Soyuncu gave Leicester the lead in the 57th minute, making the most of some slack marking to nod in James Maddison's corner. Vardy then wrapped up the win two minutes from time, finishing a brilliant team move that involved Youri Tielemans and Demarai Gray with a clever left-foot finish that gave him his 10th league goal of the season.

Leicester City: Jamie Vardy this season
Under manager, Brendan Rodgers said that Leicester City have been in fine form this season having already scored 27 times in 11 games so far. And Vardy has been the focal point of his side's attack for the most part. He scored a brilliant hat-trick when his side tore-apart a hapless Southampton 9-0 last week. Vardy is now the leading goalscorer in the Premier League, ahead of Sergio Aguero and Tammy Abraham.

Vardy, along with James Maddison and Ayoze Perez are part of the exciting Leicester City attack that for sure will be challenging for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
