Player ratingsVardy will hog the back pages tomorrow, but there were plenty of other impressive displays out there today.
Think about Wes Morgan, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Wayne Rooney. That last one was a joke.
Anyway, Adrian Kajumba was at the King Power and rated all the players.
Have a read here.

What did we learn at the King Power Stadium?Jamie Vardy wrote his name in Premier League history at the King Power Stadium.
The 28-year-old forwards goal gave the hosts the lead and the Foxes were a constant threat throughout.
But what did we actually learn from this evenings clash?

Record-breaking daySo, it finishes all square at the King Power Stadium - and it was probably a fair reflection of what unfolded.
United enjoyed the bulk of possession, but it was the hosts who had the cutting edge.
However, when this game is recalled in years to come, it will all be about Jamie Vardy, who secured his place in the record books.
19:21Minute by minute
That will do it from the King Power Stadium as the spoils are shared between Leicester City and Manchester United. Vardy scored in an unprecedented 11th straight Premier League game to give the hosts the lead, but Schweinsteiger drew them level on the stroke of half-time with a header. United dominated the ball in the second half, but neither side could find the winner, meaning that City stay top of the league. That"s all from us as well, thanks for joining our live commentary!

Vardy and Ulloa play an expansive one-two which ends with the former having the step on Smalling momentarily and a lot of green space to run into. However, he can"t drive centrally and is pushed out to the right, where his cross fails to pick out a teammate.
19:1790 minsMinute by minute
Drinkwaterblasts a decent shooting chance off target from the edge of the area as Leicester try to steal a late winner. They"ve seen precious little of the ball in the second-half - which has two minutes of added time tacked onto it by the fourth official.
19:1489 minsMinute by minute
Smalling does well to keep tabs on Schlupp down the left, and he not only prevents the substitute from getting a cross in, but manages to to win the ball back as well. Time fast running out here, is there going to be a winner?
19:1287 minsMinute by minute
Morgan and Huth have been their usual physical and committed selves all game when the ball has been on the floor. They"ve ruffled the feathers of Rooney, Mata and Martial all game and have protected Schmeichel well.
19:1185 minsMinute by minute
OVER THE BAR FROM MEMPHIS! Darmian wins a header excellently to put Memphis on goal inside the area, but Morgan is on his back and does enough to put him off his finish, which is sliced well over the top.
19:1084 minsMinute by minute
It"s been United in control of possession for the last little while, but they"re struggling to get much change out of the Leicester defence - which has consistently looked a lot more assured from open play than from dead b***s.
19:09Joshua Evans
Tick-tock, tick-tock...United found a last-minute winner in their most recent Premier League fixture against Watford.
Can they do it again? Truthfully, it doesnt look likely - but you never know.
Time is ebbing away.

Memphis sprays the ball down the right for Darmian, who has the time and space to pick out a cross, but sends the ball sailing out for a goal-kick. That just about sums up his performance, as he"s been below-par this evening.
19:0680 minsSubstitution
Ranieri pulls the trigger on his final change with about 10 minutes remaining. It"s one former Manchester United player for another as the hardworking Simpson jogs off to be replaced by De Laet.
19:0680 minsMinute by minute
Huth and Smalling are both fine to continue and United launch a dangerous attack. Memphis glides away from Drinkwater, and finds Mata at the back post. The Spaniard tries to lash a low effort for the corner, but a block from a defender halts that one.
19:0578 minsMinute by minute
Manchester United win an eighth corner, but Blind"s delivery is crashed away by Huth. However, both sets of players immediately appeal for the referee to stop play as the German defender was involved in a clash of heads with Smalling.
19:0476 minsMinute by minute
The top of the table beckons. A goal for either side to win this game will send them to the summit of the league ahead of current incumbents Manchester City. Can any of them rise to the occasion? Just under a quarter of an hour to go.

Ulloaaccepts possession at the top of the box and does well to spin and face goal with the ball on his left foot. He shapes to shoot for the top corner, but gets it all wrong, firing well over the bar. He looked like he rushed that one.

Both managers introduced attacking options in their recent substitutions, which tells you that they aren"t looking to settle for a point any time soon. The second-half has struggled at times to burst into life but as both goals so far have proven, a breakthrough can come out of nowhere.
18:58Joshua Evans
Rooney substitutionThe Manchester United and England striker seemed a little annoyed at being subbed, but in truth, he can have few complaints.
Rooney was underwhelming once again, and his slump in form shows no signs of easing.
Memphis, by the way, appears to have lined up on the left side of Uniteds attack.
18:5869 minsMinute by minute
Will Leicester come to rue that missed opportunity? It was a fantastic break led by the impressive Mahrez, and Ulloa will really feel that he could have finished better after doing so well to create the space for his shot.
18:5770 minsSubstitution
Albrightonsees his number held up on the sidelines and departs forSchlupp. He"s put in a tireless shift tonight, although his defensive contributions have been more notable than his attacking exploits.
18:5468 minsSubstitution
Rooney hasn"t really been at his top level tonight, and Van Gaal has thrown on Memphis in his place to find another breakthrough,
18:5367 minsMinute by minute
DE GEA WITH A CRUCIAL SAVE! Mahrez led a break for Leicester, and the ball is worked from the right to the centre for Ulloa, who side-steps his marker but can"t beat the Spanish goalkeeper with his low finish from close range!
18:5266 minsMinute by minute
Magnificent defensive work from Albrighton, who gets back to help out against Martial. He was isolated against the Frenchman but his initial challenge didn"t get the ball away far enough. However, as Martial attempted to try again, he charged in with an authoritative tackle to end the move once and for all.
18:5164 minsMinute by minute
United are dominating the ball but failing to provide a cutting edge to all their sequences in possession. It"s been a similar story during many of their games this season, and it looks like Van Gaal is readying a sub in a bid to freshen things up.
18:50Joshua Evans
Time to make a change?The away side have barely posed a threat in open play, which suggests a change may be in order.
Memphis is, perhaps, the most obvious option - and hed certainly add some pace to the United attack.
At the moment, though, Louis van Gaal is happy to sit tight.
