Eden Hazard hit the crossbar in the first half and Vardy punished Chelsea's profligacy six minutes into the second half to ease the pressure on Foxes boss Puel with Leicester's first win at Stamford Bridge in 18 years.
Maurizio Sarri's Blues, for whom Marcos Alonso hit a post in stoppage time, have now lost three of their last six Premier League games and desperately need a goalscorer to ease the burden on Hazard.
The Foxes had won just two of their nine games since the October 27 helicopter crash which resulted in the death of five people, including chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
A run of two wins in 12 games had led to speculation Puel's position was in jeopardy, but a first win at Chelsea since September 2000 should ease the pressure. Re-live the live action below:
Five goals, three points - a very happy Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Manchester United good, Cardiff poor, and it finishes 5-1.
Promising signs for Solskjaer's Manchester United, though Cardiff were pretty dire. Would Manchester United have taken them apart so comprehensively with Jose Mourinho still at the helm? I think they may still have done...
Nevertheless, a welcome return to Cardiff for the new Manchester United manager.
That's all from us here tonight after an action-packed day of footballing action. Manchester City and Chelsea faltered at home, Arsenal got back to winning ways at lunchtime and Manchester United kick-started a new era in impressive fashion this evening.
