Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri compared the goal Jamie Vardy, the unlikely scoring star of the first-place Foxes, scored in the 2-0 win over Liverpool to the memorable goal Marcovan Basten scored for the Netherlands in the Euro 1998 final.
“‘I can put him with Van Basten, who make a fantastic goal,” said Rainieri of the 30-yard volley. “And I don’t know ifyou watched [Francesco] Totti when he scored against Sampdoria. Amazing goals. I don’t know if it’s a new talent this season. Jamie, what he is doing is fantastic. Good for him,good for us. Good for our fans. You can only clap. What else can you do?”
