Jamie Vardy opted not to join Arsenal in 2016 because he believed Leicester City offered the better chance of Champions League football. It has taken longer than anyone at either club would have liked but after Tuesday's 1-1 draw at the Emirates, he may just be proved right.
Neither the Foxes nor the Gunners have played in Europe's elite competition since the subsequent 2016-17 campaign but the 33-year-old striker struck a telling blow here which leaves Leicester nine points clear of Arsenal and best-placed to return next season. His 84th-minute equaliser earned Brendan Rodgers' side a precious point which keeps them in the Premier League's top four while also checking the momentum Mikel Arteta has engendered at the Emirates since the restart.
