Vardy Named Premier League Player of The Season

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has been named the Premier League’s Player of the Season following his remarkable campaign for the Foxes.

 

The Foxes striker has beaten off competition from the likes of his Foxes team-mates Riyad Mahrez, Wes Morgan, N’Golo Kante and Kasper Schmeichel, along with Tottenham trio Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Toby Alderweireld to win the award.

 

Vardy has scored 24 goals thus far this season, as Claudio Ranieri’s men romped to the Premier League title, having been battling relegation last term.

 

The Foxes have lost just three games all season and sit 10 points clear of second-placed Tottenham ahead of the final game of the season.

 

Vardy has also won six England caps this season, scoring against both Germany and the Netherlands, and is poised to travel to Euro 2016 this summer with the Three Lions.

 

Mesut Ozil of Arsenal and West Ham’s Dimitri Payet were also nominated for the award after shining for their respective clubs, but they too fell behind Vardy after his scoring exploits this term.

Vardy To Face Further Sanctions After Red Card

Jamie Vardy was sent off for diving in Saturday game against West Ham and will be suspended for Sunday’s home match against Swansea City.

 

There is the possibility that the striker could have his ban extended if Jonathan Moss claims in his report that the striker was verbally abusive before leaving the pitch.

The England international was incensed that Moss showed him a second yellow card and accused him of diving when he tangled with Angelo Ogbonna in the penalty area in the 56th minute. Vardy, who had given Leicester the lead with his 22nd Premier League goal of the season, made a comment in the direction of the referee.

 

Second-placed Spurs now have the chance to move within five points of Leicester with four games remaining when they take on Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Monday evening.
