(Reuters) - Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers described Jamie Vardy as a "world-class" striker after he came back from a calf injury to score the winner in Sunday's 1-0 Premier League victory at Arsenal.

Vardy, who missed Leicester's previous two games, lifted his team after coming on as a substitute with 30 minutes left. The 33-year-old headed in Cengiz Under's cross in the 80th minute to secure all three points.
