Brendan Rodgers paid tribute to the “fitness, hunger and form” of Jamie Vardy after “a sublime finish” edged Leicester to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Wolves.

The Leicester manager acknowledged that Vardy’s playing time will have to be managed in the next two years of his contract so that the 34-year-old can stay “electric and explosive”.
