Leicester City striker Shinji Okazaki has revealed that he treats himself to fish and chips when he scores in the league.

The 29-year-old Japanese forward netted his fifth of the season on Saturday as the high-flying Foxes were held to a 1-1 draw at Premier League basement side Aston Villa, although Okazaki admitted that he would still be enjoying a gastronomic celebration despite the two dropped points.

"Now I have scored, I want some fish and chips, it is better than pizza," he told reporters afterwards. "I have them sometimes, maybe once every two weeks, then I am happy.

"I like England – I like the everyday life, and of course I like fish and chips as well!"

Claudio Ranieri's side temporarily returned to the summit after the result but were usurped by Arsenal on goal difference on Sunday after their goalless stalemate at Stoke City.
