“He came into the game with a real fire in his belly to perform and did really well,” Independent quoted Rodgers as saying.
“For a large part of my time here Vardy has been our number one striker, we brought Patson (Daka) in who could replicate that and Kelechi is a fantastic link player for us.
“We always have a strong team out and Walsall today, give them credit. Michael[Flynn] has done an excellent job since coming in here.
“I thought we were good in the second half, the method to our game was better. We adapted a couple of things at halftime and started to threaten a bit more.”
His international teammate, Wilfred Ndidi missed the game due to injury.
