JAMIE AND HIS MAGIC TOUCH

Vard lesson in finishing for Ange ball

- NEIL MOXLEY

JAMIE VARDY’S legs might be going – but his instincts in front of goal aren’t.

Those razor-sharp reflexes that have carried him to a new one-year deal at the grand old age of 37 are still in demand at the top level.

And doesn’t Ange Postecoglou know it.

The Spurs boss can swap and change his personnel all he likes but the club’s ability to create mayhem where there was only calm remains their overriding quality.

After almost an hour of one-way traffic, it seemed a case of ‘when’ not ‘if’ the visitors would add to Pedro Porro’s first-half header.

Leicester had fed off scraps as the ball had been passed around them.

But then they sniffed an opportunity and, as far as new Foxes’ chief Steve Cooper was concerned, it couldn’t have fallen to a better man.

The King Power Stadium had been strangely subdued as Spurs dictated proceedings early on.

Whether their club analysts had identified a weakness in Leicester’s rearguard in the air is unknown.

But it certainly looked that way as almost every effort on Mads Hermansen’s goal came via an aerial route.
