'We came here with a plan and we absolutely nailed it': Jamie Vardy salutes Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers for masterminding win over Tottenham that took them to second in the Premier League

Jamie Vardy saluted Brendan Rodgers for the masterplan and his teammates for its execution as Leicester stunned Tottenham to go second in the Premier League.

'We came here with a plan and we absolutely nailed it,' said Vardy.
