England striker Jamie Vardy has broken former Manchester United star
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 game against Manchester United to put his
side 1-0 up in a top of the table clash.
His goal came after he was picked out by Christian Fuchs after a nice counter attack play from the foxes.
Vardy’s record-breaking strike was however cancelled out by
Schweinsteiger on the stroke of half time.The German headed home Daley
Blind’s corner to level the scores just before half-time whistle.
However,
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.
Taking
to Instagram to congratulate Vardy on his new feat, former record
holder Ruud Van Nistelrooy wrote: “Well done vardy7! You’re number one
now and you deserved it.”
