The Leicester City striker scored in an 11th
consecutive game by opening the scoring against
Manchester United, the Dutchman's old team, at
the King Power Stadium on Saturday
Jamie Vardy has broken Ruud van Nistelrooy’s
Premier League record by scoring in an 11th
consecutive top-flight game.
Vardy broke the record in the 24th minute of
Leicester City’s match against Van Nistelrooy’s
former club Manchester United to put his side 1-0
up in a top of the table clash.
The England striker was picked out by Christian
Fuchs on a Foxes break and finished inside the
penalty area.
Perfect striker's finish. Gets between
defenders, peels into space with great timing.
Never in doubt from there. #Vardy

Vardy has netted 13 goals on his current run and is
the Premier League's top scorer so far this season
with 14 goals overall.
He was playing non-league football as recently as
the 2011-12 season, having worked his way up
from the lower reaches of the English game to
earn a £1 million move to Leicester in May 2012.
Vardy helped Leicester win the Championship title
during the 2013-14 campaign and earned his first
England cap on June 7 earlier this year against the
Republic of Ireland.
