| Romelu Lukaku hails in-form Jamie Vardy |
ROMELU LUKAKU has heaped praise on Leicester striker Jamie Vardy ahead of Everton's visit of the Foxes on Saturday.
Much of Leicester's success is down to their in-form pair of Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, who are first and third in the Premier League scoring charts.
But Everton have a weapon of their own going up against the table toppers in Lukaku, the league's second-highest scorer.
The Belgian is hot on Vardy's heels, trailing the Leicester striker's 15 goals by three, and has seven in his last six league games for the Toffees.
But the 22-year-old says he is impressed by Vardy, who broke the league record for scoring in consecutive games last month.
"I am happy for him and he deserves the recognition he's getting," Lukaku said. "It's something special. Scoring 11 goals on the bounce is incredible.

"It's not easy at all. You are playing against top defenders so to break that record means you have a lot of quality.
"Credit to him, he's done great and is having a really good season. As a striker you always want to score goals and on a personal level you always want to be in that number one spot in the scoring charts."
