Leicester striker Jamie Vardy recently went 11 games without a goal but he’d only need to look back at last season’s remarkable title run to settle any doubts about his goalscoring ability.

On this day last year, the England international scored for the 10th consecutive Premier League game, equalling Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record.

The Dutchman’s feat would go on to be broken by Vardy, against United as well, but he equalled his 2003 mark with a strike against Newcastle at St James’ Park – the same ground where Van Nistelrooy set the record.

Vardy exchanged passes with Leonardo Ulloa and rifled a shot low into the bottom corner in a 3-0 victory.
