Steve Cooper has backed Leicester captain Jamie Vardy to continue to be the main man after he rescued a point from their Premier League opener at home to Tottenham.

Vardy had been expected to sit out the Monday night clash after he missed a large chunk of pre-season with a muscle injury.

However, the Leicester forward declared himself fit over the weekend and rewarded new boss Cooper with a poacher’s finish at the back post from Abdul Fatawu’s cross in the 57th minute to cancel out Pedro Porro’s first-half opener in a 1-1 draw.

There’s never a dull moment when Jamie Vardy is around
