'Vardy reminds me of Suarez' - Rodgers compares 'wonderful' Leicester striker to ex-Liverpool hero

Brendan Rodgers has drawn comparisons between "wonderful" Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy and ex-Liverpool hero Luis Suarez.

Vardy took his tally of goals at the start of the season to 10 in 11 Premier League appearances by scoring the second in Leicester's 3-0 home win over Brighton on Sunday.

The 33-year-old recorded an assist 27 minutes into the contest when James Justin's cross deflected kindly back off his shin into the path of James Maddison, who fired past Matt Ryan.
