Leicester
City star Jamie Vardy is not paying attention to his critics after Michael Owen claimed the Englishman's goalscoring feats relied a
lot on luck.
For the first time in 16 matches, Vardy scored and he did it
style, netting a hat-trick as Premier League champions
Leicester stunned Manchester City 4-2 on Saturday.
Last month, former Manchester United, Real Madrid,
Liverpool and England striker Owen said Vardy is not a
natural finisher.
Responding to Owen and others, Vardy - who scored 24
Premier League goal last season - said: "I don't listen to
that. He can say what he wants. Everyone is entitled to
their own opinion.
"I'm not going to read anything to it and that's up to them
what they say. I'll just get on with it, work on the training
field and hopefully take it into the matches."
The win at home to City ended a five-match winless streak
for Leicester, who are four points clear of the relegation
zone.
Vardy added: "At the end of the day the team comes first.
Although we've not been getting the results and a few of
the performances have been below par, deep down we
knew we were still the team we were last year.
"On Saturday's performance we've definitely got that back
and we'll look forward to Tuesday now at Bournemouth.
"I don't think we can start talking about streaks and stuff
like that just yet, but we'll have to wait and see.
"Obviously with what happened last year, a lot of
expectations go up. Against City we showed exactly what
we're about and what we can do."
