Jamie Vardy: Michael Owen ‘can say what he wants’ about my finishing ability

Vardy ended a 16-match Foxes goal drought with a hat-trick against Man City.

Jamie Vardy says Michael Owen is entitled to his opinion after emphatically disproving his suggestion that the Leicester striker is not a natural finisher.

Former Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester United striker Owen, who is seventh on the all-time Premier League top goalscorers list, last month criticised Vardy while working as a pundit for BT Sport, stating that the 29-year-old relies heavily on fortune rather than finesse to score his goals.
