Vardy who? Ulloa finds scoring touch at perfect time for Leicester City
Leicester City can party, even without Jamie Vardy.
The Foxes' march towards an improbable Premier League title continued unabated in the opening half of Sunday's contest against an abject Swansea side, as goals from Riyad Mahrez and Leonardo Ulloa gave Claudio Ranieri's men a 2-0 lead inside a raucous King Power Stadium.
The big Argentine, starting just his sixth match of the season in the absence of the suspended Vardy, recorded his fifth goal of the season in the 30th minute, firing a thumping header past Lukasz Fabianski.
Social media, almost entirely aboard the Leicester hype train, reacted as enthusiastically as the players on the pitch celebrated the striker's goal.
This atmosphere.

Just feels like Ulloa should be starting ahead of Messi for Argentina

Who plays Ulloa in the Leicester Movie?

Anyone know the bookies fave for #lcfc top scorer prior to the season? Wonder what Ulloa was.

As if that wasn't enough, Ulloa added another tally in the second half to wrap up the points and bring the Foxes closer to the crown.
