Leicester launched a counter-attack that led to James  Maddison slipping in Vardy to emphatically fire past Kepa when one-on-one.   Schmeichel was sharp to keep out Hazard's left-foot effort from a tight  angle, and at the other end Kepa's spill from Marc Albrighton's cross needed  swift action from Cesar Azpilicueta to deny Vardy.   Leicester's goal lived a charmed life in the closing stages with Antonio  Rudiger heading wide from point-blank range and Alonso fluffing his lines by  striking the left post when one-on-one.</blockquote>
