| Riyad Mahrez bags a hat-trick at the Liberty Stadium |
JAMIE VARDY missed two good chances to extend his goalscoring streak to 12 straight games but a Riyad Mahrez hat-trick sent Leicester back to the top of the Premier League.
Vardy fired an early effort straight at Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, then blazed a late effort over the bar as it was left to the Algerian to seal a 3-0 win at the Liberty Stadium.
And it proved enough for the Foxes to return to the top of the table after Manchester City were beaten 2-0 by Stoke in the lunchtime kick-off.

| Jamie Vardy failed to make it 12 goals in 12 consecutive games |
Mahrez took just five minutes to put his side in front when he converted a Marc Albrighton free-kick then he increased their lead after 22 minutes from a cross by N'Golo Kante.
Ki Sung-yueng struck the bar at the start of the second half for the home side but Mahrez sealed a win which will heap more pressure on Swans boss Garry Monk when he slotted home from Vardy's neat pass in the 67th minute.
