LEICESTER, England (AP) — Jamie Vardy scored the winner as Leicester followed up its Community Shield victory with a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton in their Premier League opener.

Wolves, under new manager Bruno Lage, dominated the second half but couldn’t find an equalizer even with striker Raul Jimenez leading the attack on his first league appearance since fracturing his skull nine months ago.
