Leicester dented Burnley’s bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League as Jamie Vardy returned from injury to inspire a 2-0 win at Turf Moor on Tuesday.

Brendan Rodgers’ side stole the points with two goals in the last eight minutes as Vardy set up James Maddison and then netted himself. Burnley remain in the relegation zone, one point below Everton, after their three-game unbeaten run came to an end in painful fashion. A win or draw would have taken Burnley out of the bottom three for the first time since November. But instead they will have to get over a gut punch of a defeat that keeps their top-flight status in severe peril.
