How did Leicester achieve their biggest Premier League win?
Leicester into third after biggest ever Premier League win, and it was Ricciardo who got the ball rolling with that individual effort in the first half. Two for Jamie Vardy in the second to put this game well beyond Newcastle's reach. Now 14 in 17 games for him under Brendan Rodgers. Let's hear from Vardy and Ricciardo with Patrick Davison.
Guys, well done, Jamie. The minute the guy next to you got that first goal, did you scent blood?
Yeah, we knew it was going to be a difficult game, and like I said, we thought that the first goal was going to be all important, and as soon as we got that, we just wanted to keep that momentum going, keep pressing, and we've come away with a very good victory.
Ricardo, all year without a goal, and now two.
Yeah, that's what I try to do. My first job is to defend, then if I have the opportunity to go forward and help the team, better.
Just tell us what you saw then, because it was a quick 1-2 with Perez, and then it just seemed to open up for you.
Yeah, it opened, I saw the space, Jamie did the movement and struck one of the defenders, and then I tried my luck and I scored, fortunately.
What impact did Jamie Vardy's performance have on the game?
Jamie, credit to you for that little run that just took, I think, LaSalle's away.
Yeah, I think I'd have been offside if he'd have passed it, but no, obviously delighted for him. Weaker foot as well, and he's slotted it in the bottom corner.
Portugal, I think, as Brendan Rodgers said, Portugal must have some good right-backs for him not to be in the squad, mustn't they?
Yes, 100 per cent. You've seen what he's like, consistently good, and he's only going to get better. Everyone, as soon as we work on that training field, making sure we're implementing the gaffer's plans, you can see with performances like that what we've been up to.
A clean sheet, important for you as a right-back first and foremost, Ricardo?
Yes, it's important in this type of game. If we don't concede, we have more chances to win.
Jamie, two goals for you today, both a little bit old-school Leicester, weren't they? One quite direct and the second from an Albrighton cross.
Yeah, we've got lots of different ways we can score. Everyone's obviously seen that we used to be really counter-attacking, but now we've got different dimensions to his attack, and that's what you've seen today with the goals.
Why do you think it works so well between you and Brendan Rodgers? I think when he first came in, people wondered, with a guy who's made his name on a lot of counter-attacking goals and a possession-based coach, how would that work? But it's worked perfectly. Why?
I think you can see with the way that we're playing, we are keeping possession, but we're doing it fast and we're doing it with an end product and that can only benefit ourselves as attacking players. Like I said, we're getting Ricky and Chilly especially, we're pushing up and giving them extra numbers and that's what makes the numbers count.
You're third now, 14 points, which is two more than you had at this stage in the title-winning season. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but how does this team compare to the title-winning team?
If I'm being honest, it's all the same, especially off the field and at training. Really close-knit group and we'll just keep it going as it's going, get back on that training field this week and obviously look forward to the game against Liverpool next weekend.
Well done both of you, well done. Cheers, thank you. Who knows how far it can take them today. Five goals from Leicester City from five attempts on target. Efficient and not one from Newcastle. From their three overall, you see that Leicester had more than twice as many passes. And Newcastle just four touches. in Leicester's box and only 31% possession, which we talked about at the start of the programme today, which mirrors pretty much what they managed against Brighton at home last week, but this time because that one red card in the first half had to do it all with 10 in the second. We'll come on to Newcastle, Graham, but how impressive was that from Leicester City today?
