Vardy show inflicts Man City woe

LEICESTER, England -- Three quick thoughts on Leicester 4-2 Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Manchester City suffer humiliating defeat

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City regime has lurched into crisis after this chastening 4-2 loss at Leicester followed last week's capitulation against Chelsea.

Jamie Vardy, goalless since Sep. 10 for Leicester, grabbed a hat trick that drove a knife into Guardiola's hopes of succeeding Claudio Ranieri's champions. It must have made thrilling viewing for anyone associated with Chelsea.

City were in trouble from the third minute and stayed there. After John Stones and Aleksandar Kolarov dallied, Islam Slimani's pass found Vardy in space.
