Jamie Vardy Jurgen Klopp admitted he nearly clapped Jamie Vardy after the Leicester striker scored twice against Liverpool to keep the Foxes top of the Premier League. Vardy's double earned Claudio Ranieri's side a 2-0 win at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night, taking his goal tally in the league to 18. The defeat leaves Liverpool 11 points behind fourth-place Arsenal, while Leicester remain three points clear at the top, and Klopp paid tribute to the Foxes and their in-form striker after the match. "Things like this happen when you are in such a good moment like Jamie Vardy and Leicester are," Klopp said. "Obviously you need a little bit of luck but it was really good. First of all you need to be brave enough to do it.
