Twenty-three games without a goal spells the story of quite the scoring drought for Leicester City hit-man Shinji Okazaki, but that drought is no more, as the Japanese striker finally bulged the back of the net and halved the deficit at Manchester City on Saturday.
He did so in fine fashion too, plucking out a cross from out wide swung in by Marc Albrighton and cracking a volleyed shot past ol' Willy Caballero, cool as you like. That's goal No. 3 in the league for Okazaki, if you're counting.
Okazaki's last goal came in a 2-1 defeat at Sunderland last December and the ninth-placed Foxes will hope he's got a few more in him on this day as Leicester looks to leapfrog West Brom in the table.
