Jamie Vardy blew his top in the tunnel after Leicester lost their seven-goal thriller at Arsenal.

Striker Vardy punched a wall in sheer frustration on Friday night, having scored twice at the Emirates yet still ended up on the beaten side.

Vardy did a TV interview after the game and it looked as if he had calmed down, but the 30-year-old could not contain his anger after his Foxes blew it in the final stages.

Onlookers saw it as Vardy’s frustration in defeat — especially as it was the third season running that late goals have seen Arsenal snatch a last-gasp victory in the fixture.

Vardy, in a TV interview with Sky, said: “This has happened to us the last three seasons here.

"We put ourselves in a commanding position and a few lapses in concentration have cost us.”

In their title-winning 2015-16 campaign, Leicester led at the Emirates through a Vardy penalty but after having Danny Simpson sent off they conceded a 70th minute equaliser and a stoppage-time winner .

Last April, the match was 0-0 until the 86th minute, when Foxes defender Robert Huth's own-goal gave the Gunners three points.
