Substitute Vardy scores both against Watford in 2-0 victory Birmingham sink Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 for Rooney’s first win
Jamie Vardy came off the bench for Leicester to earn the leaders their first victory in three matches, scoring both goals in a 2-0 home win against Watford.
It had looked like being a half of frustration for the former Premier League Golden Boot winner, after he somehow missed an open goal from four yards out in the 74th minute. But he was in the right spot two minutes later to score from close range after Jannik Vestergaard’s header had been parried by Daniel Bachmann in Watford’s goal.
