We can only talk about one person here, can't we?

Jamie Vardy gives hope to those who think their advancing years means their football career is coming to an end as he got Leicester's equaliser.

The 37-year-old had barely had a pre-season because of injury and was not expected to be fit for this game.

However, with Steve Cooper's side missing a number of forwards through injury, Vardy stepped up.

It was a vintage Vardy finish, positioning himself in the perfect place to head in a cross from close range and he could have got a dream winner but the lack of fitness perhaps told as he placed his shot too close to the goalkeeper.

But it is now 104 Premier League goals for Vardy after the age of 30 and he is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
