Jamie Vardy breaks over 10 years old Premier League record by scoring in eleven consecutive games

Jamie Vardy celebrating his feat
The England striker's goal in Leicester's game against Manchester United takes him past former Red Devils man Ruud van Nistelrooy, who previously held the record. The Dutchman notched in ten successive matches between March and August 2003, his strikes spread over two seasons. Vardy has now bettered that feat, going on a sensational scoring spree since his late equaliser away to Bournemouth on 29 August.
He went on to net against Aston Villa, Stoke, Arsenal, Norwich, Southampton, Crystal Palace, West Brom and Watford, before drawing level with Van Nistelrooy in the 3-0 demolition of Newcastle – a result that put Leicester top of the league heading into this weekend's action.



Vardy's 11th strike came at the King Power Stadium against a United side that had conceded only nine goals in their first 13 league games this term.
Wearing special gold boots for the occasion, Vardy took just 23 minutes to score, running onto a clever Christian Fuchs through-ball to fire under David De Gea
