The Algerian led the way as the high-flying Foxes regained top spot in the Premier League table at the Liberty Stadium, with the Welsh club’s manager set to face more scrutiny.
Riyad Mahrez’s hat-trick inspired Leicester City to a 3-0 victory over struggling Swansea City that sends them back to the top of the Premier League table, though Jamie Vardy’s record-breaking scoring run came to an end.
After netting in an 11th straight top-flight game against Manchester United last Saturday, Vardy had his sights set on matching Jimmy Dunne’s all-time Football League record of scoring in 12 consecutive matches.
While he was unsuccessful in his bid for more individual glory, Vardy had a hand in all three goals as Mahrez stole the show at the Liberty Stadium.
