PLAYER RATINGS: Burnley 0 Leicester City 2

In this world, nothing is certain except death, taxes and Jamie Vardy scoring against Burnley.

The ex-England striker came off the bench to secure the points for the Foxes after fellow substitute James Maddison had broken the deadlock at Turf Moor.

The 35-year-old netted the seventh goal of his career against the Clarets after Harvey Barnes had put the ball on a plate for the forward in the 90th minute.

The hosts were just minutes away from climbing out of the bottom three, at the expense of Everton, but a double-change from Brendan Rodgers altered things significantly.

Vardy set up Maddison in the 82nd minute and then rounded things off when heading home his first Premier League goal since November.

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope had previously done everything he could to keep the visitors out — keeping out Ricardo Pereira, Patson Daka and Harvey Barnes twice — during a display that ought to enter him into the discussion for England selection.

Here are the ratings.
