    GOAL - Leicester 2-0 Watford

    Jamie Vardy

    Was there ever any doubt? Jamie Vardy smashes high, straight down the the middle, nearly breaking the onion bag. That is goals in nine successive games for Vardy. Nine! Only Ruud van Nistelrooy has 10.

  2. Penalty to Leicester

    No doubt about this. Vardy through, Gomes brings him down. Stonewall penalty. Gomes gets booked, Vardy puts the ball on the spot...

  3. Leicester, by the the way, are going level on points with Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.

  4. Jamie Vardy seems to have recovered from that injury scare, running at the Watford defence and shooting low from outside the box. Miguel Britos throws himself to make a block. End to end.

  6. Watford have bounced back well, knocking the ball around and creating an opportunity for Allan Nyom, who fires over from outside the 18-yard box. Still very noisy at the KP.

  7. 'That is an absolute howler'

    "I played with Gomes at Spurs. He has been brilliant for Watford, but he will know that is an absolute howler. His team need to dig him out of a hole now..."

  8. Now this is worrying for Leicester, England and fantasy football managers everywhere. Jamie Vardy is down, hurting himself when no one else is around. A jump for the ball, an awkward landing, Vardy in obvious discomfort. He goes off the field, then is back on after treatment. Perhaps a story developing.

    "It was good skill from Kante, but the ball slid under Gomes. It stops Watford in their tracks."

  10. It was good skill from Kante to get the shot away, but Gomes is the real reason for the goal. Comically bad. Make sure you watch it on Match of the Day.

    GOAL - Leicester 1-0 Watford

    Ngolo Kante

    Oh no! Heurelho Gomes, what have you done? It's a howler from the Watford keeper, gifting Ngolo Kante the goal that gives Leicester the lead. It's the tamest one shots, one your grandma could stop. Somehow, Gomes lets it dribble through. Horrible.

  12. Early chance for Leicester, with Marc Albrighton shooting straight at Gomes. He could have played in Jamie Vardy, with the England man looking a touch frustrated. Bright from Leicester.

  13. SUBSTITUTION

    There's been a sneaky substitution during the break that I didn't spot. Leicester have introduced Shinji Okazaki to play up top with Jamie Vardy. Jeff Schlupp has made way.

  14. KICK-OFF

    Back under way in the second half. Goals, please.

  16. It's reasonably even in terms of the action areas, but Watford have had plenty more of the possession.

  17. Latest scores

    Nothing here and goals also rare in the rest of the Premier League. Only two in the 15:00 GMT games, both at Upton Park.

    "I think Watford have had it over Leicester so far. Vardy hasn't really had a look-in so far."

  19. HALF-TIME

    Leicester 0-0 Watford

    That's yer lot for now. It promised much, but hasn't delivered yet.

  20. Ranieri is having a little cuddle with the fourth official, while Quique Sanchez Flores is looking like the smartest man in the Premier League. One minute added on.
