Jamie Vardy’s brace, along with Kasey McAteer’s contribution, propelled the Foxes to victory, confirming their dominance in the second tier.

Despite making several changes to his lineup, Maresca’s team showcased their superiority throughout the match, controlling possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities.
