It is the responsibility of the whole Leicester City squad to end Jamie Vardy’s goal drought, manager Brendan Rodgers has said.

Following Friday’s goalless draw at Wolves, Vardy has now gone eight matches in all competitions without finding the net, his driest run for three years.

But the City number nine is not solely accountable, with Rodgers urging his team-mates to provide for him.

Vardy, marked out of the game by Willy Boly and the Wolves defence, did not have a single shot at Molineux, with the 33-year-old having had just five efforts in the six Premier League games since Christmas. Before Christmas, he was averaging more than 2.5 shots per game.

Rodgers remains confident a goal is just around the corner.

“It’s the responsibility of everyone to create and score, not just Jamie,” Rodgers said after Friday’s match.

“He worked very hard in the game. His experience in particular when we went to 10 men was very important for us.

“As long as he is working and grafting for the team, and showing that determination, it will come for him again. He’s a top-class striker.

“He didn’t have so many opportunities. This was pretty much similar to the first game, at the King Power on the first day of the season. Not so many chances, 0-0.

“We’re happy with 20-odd minutes with 10 men against a good side, we take a point, get to 50 points and be in a good position with 12 games to go.”

Statistics show that City have been taking fewer shots per game since Christmas, but that Vardy is having a lower proportion of them.

Before Christmas, City averaged 15 shots per game, with Vardy taking 18 per cent of them. Since then, they’ve rack up an average of 11 shots per game, with only seven per cent falling to Vardy.
