Leicester City’s premier league title hope looks undisputable now even though they drew their last game to West Ham at home. Though final score was 2-2 on the board but game drew attention for the controversial exit of 29-year-old in-form forward Jamie Vardy who was booked by referee Jon Moss second time at 56th-minute for his misconduct. He would now miss the weekend’s clash with Swansea City along with more serious action by the Football Association who is investigating the matter to find out why he reacted so furiously on his booking. If things go worse for him, he could be debarred for rest of the season games and then Claudio Ranieri side position on the board would become vulnerable to Spurs who are close chasing them at the top. King Power side and Vardy are given a Thursday 6 p.m. deadline to offer their defense then FA would decide on his future in the current league campaign.
Moreover, if we look at the vibes in the dressing room over his possible absence from the scene for rest of the games, full-back Danny Simpson is confident Foxes can carry on their lead at the top without any problem. He said, “Vardy has been one of the best players in the league. But Leo came on and got a point for us — that was a lot of pressure for anyone. Other players have scored in the team and before last week Vards hadn’t scored for five or six games, so we’ll deal with it. We’ve got other players who can come in. Just look at the game — Jeff came on and won us a penalty and Leo came on and scored.
“Dema has come on in the last few weeks and showed for a young lad his maturity and he’s an attacking threat. So I’m sure we’ll cope with it well.”
Adding about the team spirit at the moment when they were 2-1 down on the board and how they are still in a better position to win English topflight, he said, “We could have got our heads down when we went down to 2-1 and accepted it, but that’s not us and that’s not our group. I think psychologically that proved to the world how together we are. Psychologically I think it’s a massive point. I think we proved we’re not easy to beat. We want to win every game, we want to keep clean sheets — that’s the team we are. It didn’t happen, but to draw in the last second of a game gives you a boost.”
