Vardy scores 2 as Leicester beats Liverpool (The Associated Press)

Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester City collected their first victory of the calendar year with a 3-1 win over Liverpool at the King Power Stadium on Monday. The striker opened the scoring with a cool one-on-one finish just before the half-hour mark and Danny Drinkwater's sensational long-range volley doubled the Foxes' lead. Vardy doubled his tally with a second-half header on the hour-mark, meaning Philippe Coutinho's well-worked goal was simply consolation for the visitors, who miss the chance to move up to third in the Premier League.
