A goal in the first three minutes? Must be a Cocks game. It was Tielemans this time who rifled home for Ferguson’s side, and they looked imperious for much of the first half. Keeping out Messi for 90 minutes is, of course, famously difficult and the league’s most prolific player only need five minutes after the break to level things up. It marked the turn of a one-sided contest into a full-on banger. Vardy put the visitors in front but Maddison had his say with a classy finish from a tight angle, while Neto was impressive in holding off multiple Dawgs chances. The keeper will be frustrated that Vardy went on to catch him unsighted for a powerful winner from range. A gutting result for the home side but, on this form, they should be hopeful of not being dragged back down towards the bottom teams.
