LEICESTER, England, Feb 3: Jamie Vardy continued his prolific season by scoring two goals — including a looping volley from 25 meters — to guide Leicester to a 2-0 win over Liverpool on Tuesday, preserving the team's three-point lead in the Premier League.

The England striker's stunning, long-distance strike put Leicester ahead in the 60th minute and he made it 18 goals for the season with a shot from close range in the 72nd after running onto Shinji Okazaki's deflected effort.After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Leicester is providing the most unlikely title challenge in the 24-year history of the Premier League.

With 14 games left this campaign, Leicester is closing in on a Champions League qualification place and is now a definite title contender — especially if Vardy maintains his form.
