Claudio Ranieri hailed striker Jamie Vardy after Leicester City's 2-1 win over Swansea on Saturday afternoon - the England international's first goal of the Premier League season helping his side to the first win of their title defence.
The 29-year-old, who signed a new four-year deal at the King Power Stadium this summer, scored 24 goals in the club's stunning title-winning campaign last season but failed to get off the mark in his first two games of the new season - a defeat to Hull and a draw against Arsenal.
100 - Claudio Ranieri has won his 100th Premier League game as a manager & is the 5th non British/Irish boss to reach the landmark. Century
Ranieri saidof his leading man after the match:"Of course, some seasons a little more, some seasons a little less, but never never the goalscorer forgets the way.Of course it is important to score a goal for strikers because it is their life but for me it is important that the performance impress a lot and the first half was very, very outstanding for us.
"We wanted to score one more goal in the first half but in the beginning of the second half we play very well also and score a second goal. Then we miss a penalty and maybe the opponent got more confident and maybe we complicate a little our life.But it is good, three points and a first victory for us and I am very, very happy. It is 100 wins and now I want another 100."
The Italian also discussed his happiness with the depth of the defending champions' squad, saying:"Amartey played a good match.He closed all the space, fought a lot and recovered a lot of balls. Musa is slowly, slowly getting better. He had the chance to score the third goal but was unlucky. I'm happy with the squad."
