VARDY'S PROLIFICACY


On This Day In 2015, Jamie Vardy became the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League games, netting Leicester City's only goal in a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at King Power Stadium. With this, the then 28-year-old surpassed the previous record holder Ruud van Nistelrooy who scored in 10 consecutive league games, across two seasons in 2003. Vardy's run ended on 5 December 2015 when he did not score in a 3–0 win at Swansea City , having done so he would have equalled the English top-flight record of 12 consecutive scoring matches set by Jimmy Dunne for Sheffield United in 1931–32.
