In the end, it was the old-fashioned centre forwards who would prove decisive, two 33-year-olds with the experience to keep their head when big moments came. Jamie Vardy is a phenomenon and popped up at the end to ensure Leicester got their just desserts from a thoroughly entertaining Boxing Day clash.
And though he didn’t score, Edinson Cavani made a crucial intervention after coming on to show Anthony Martial what leading the line really looks like. To ensure the next generation weren’t overshadowed, Marcus Rasford scored his 50th Premier League goal at the age of 23 and Harvey Barnes hit the best goal of the match.
