62 mins: Shinji Okazaki's time is up, and he will be replaced by Leonardo Ulloa. As he departs the pitch, he gets a handshake from referee Andre Marriner. Probably the highlight of his season, that.
64 mins: PENALTY TO LEICESTER!Matthew Pennington brings down Jamie Vardy, and the champions have the chance to wrap up another three points. The Leicester forward just timed his run to stay onside ...probably...possibly...maybe, and all the young Everton defender could do was clip his heels to bring him down.
Whoops!
65 mins: GOAL! LEICESTER 3 EVERTON 0:A fifth successful penalty of the campaign, and a 24th goal of the season for Jamie Vardy! The forward thumps his spotkick low and hard to Joel Robles' right, and such is the power the goalkeeper barely moves. The Everton goalkeeper tried to put him the Leicester striker off beforehand, and his comeuppance is a word from the goalscorer as he wheels away. One goal behind Harry Kane now, is the Golden Boot now in Jamie Vardy's sight?
Joel Robles gets banged.
69 mins: Vardy could have been celebrating his hat-trick, and in this form you would expect him to be. The Everton defence parted like a 90's haircut once again to allow the forward to go through one-on-one with Joel Robles, but on this occasion the visiting goalkeeper came out on top.
71 mins: PENALTY TO LEICESTER!
Another one! Jamie Vardy has another chance to net a treble because Andre Marriner has pointed to the spot for the second time in quick succession after Darron Gibson dived in on the accelerating Jeffrey Schlupp as they both chased a loose ball just inside the box.
4 - Leicester have taken four penalties v Everton this season - no side has taken more in a PL season v a single opponent. Spot.

13th penalty for Leicester this season, a joint-Premier League record with Crystal Palace in 2004-05.

72 mins: MISSED PENALTY!A chance for the hat-trick, a chance for the Golden Boot, and Jamie Vardy blasts high over the bar. You can take the boy out of the non-league...
