Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has thrown his support behind Jamie Vardy amid the striker's struggles to find the net in recent weeks, comparing his frontman to Liverpool's Roberto Firmino in how his movement helps to create chances for others in the side.
The 33-year-old has established himself as one of the most feared forwards of the current Premier League era, but while he sits level at the top of the scoring charts with Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, he has failed to register in his last nine matches across all competitions.
He does, however, boast a better accuracy rate that the Gabon man, with 65 per cent to Aubameyang's 57% for shots on target – and has four assists to the Arsenal forward's one.
