Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy has stated that the team had no choice but to throw everything at Arsenal in their defeat to the Gunners.

Claudio Ranieri's side lost 5-2 to the North Londoners at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, a result which has moved Arsenal above the Foxes in the Premier League table.

Vardy, who netted both of Leicester's goals, has said that Arsenal capitalised on his side's attacking approach to the game.

"I think we've started the game well, gone in front and they've hit us exactly the same way that we've hit other teams, and that's on the break," Vardy told Leicester's official website.

"It's a bit disappointing but I mean in the second half we were going for it trying to get a result but it's just not happened. They broke away again and kept scoring.

"Obviously there's disappointment in the dressing room but we need to get back to the training field now and focus on Norwich."

Leicester take on Norwich City at Carrow Road this Saturday.
