Zred: Since Brendan Rodgers arrived at Leicester no player has scored more goals than Vardy! Remember he said he would build a team around Vardy to make him score goals like Suarez? Maybe Rodgers is an offensive genius!?
Simon Atkins: Vardy showing what he is capable of. He shows it time and time again, and there are still doubters if he has a few off games. Shame he didn't get a chance earlier in his life at the top end of football.

Leicester 2-1 Bournemouth
A Cherries training-ground routine almost pays off.
Ryan Fraser plays a low corner-ball to Harry Wilson, whose slightly scuffed shot is blocked by the bunched defenders inside the Leicester area.
Whistle?

Joshua King is on the deck after a nasty head collision with Jonny Evans.
The forward seems to be OK.
We have three minutes of stoppage.
GOAL - Leicester 2-1 Bournemouthpublished at 41 mins
Youri Tielemans
Jamie Vardy, inside the area and on the right, squares the ball through a crowd of players to Youri Tielemans who gets his toe to the ball.
It looks like the ball might bounce off the post and back in play, but to the Belgian's relief it bounces off the woodwork and into the net.
The Foxes probably deserve to be in front at this stage.

Leicester 1-1 Bournemouth
Harvey Barnes, Jamie Vardy and James Maddison combine in and around the area (I'm not ashamed to use 'in and around') but Bournemouth clear, just about.
Pressure late in the first half from the home side.

Has Brendan Rodgers been watching Leicester City: Premier League Champions 2015-16 on DVD?
Because again they have tried to find Jamie Vardy with a quick ball from the back.

Ramsdale gets away with onepublished at 31 mins
Leicester 1-1 Bournemouth
Keeper Aaron Ramsdale can count himself very, very lucky.
The former Sheffeld United man tries to return a backpass played to him from Adam Smith without realising Jamie Vardy is approximately two metres from him.
The ball falls to the goalscorer whose attempt lands back in the possession of the Cherries keeper.
Moments later, Caglar Soyuncu launches a great strike which flies a couple of feet wide.
Then...then...a few seconds later Jefferson Lerma goes into the book for a foul on Youri Tielemans.

BBC Sport at King Power StadiumThe torrential downpour just before kick-off has given way to blue skies and sunshine.
The pitch is drying up and now Leicester can really start to put some slick, passing moves together.

Strike!
Jamie Vardy launches a Robin Hood arrow of an effort which Aaron Ramsdale does well to hold on to.

Aye carumba!
Assist king James Maddison heads narrowly wide, under pressure, from a Marc Albrigton cross.
If this ends 1-1 I'll be shocked.

BBC Sport at King Power StadiumOh, hello. The Bournemouth fans have found their voices now.
"Eddie Howe's barmy army," is the song.
There is a pocket of them in the corner behind Aaron Ramsdale's goal.

BBC Sport at King Power Stadium“Vichai had a dream,
"To build our football team,
“He came from Thailand and now he’s one of our own,
“We play from the back,
“We counter attack,
“Champions of England, you made us sing that.”
In honour of their former chairman who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash last year. Beautiful.
