Jamie Vardy absence won’t derail title bid, vows Danny Simpson

Jamie Vardy has been one of the players of the season, but Danny Simpson is confident his absence will not derail Leicester’s title bid.

A remarkable campaign hit a bump in the road on Sunday as Claudio Ranieri’s men fought out a frantic and fractious 2-2 draw at home to West Ham.

The most high-profile of a string of controversial decisions by referee Jon Moss was the 56th-minute second booking dished out to opening goalscorer Vardy for simulation.
