Jamie Vardy scored for the 11th match in a row on this day in 2015 to break Ruud van Nistelrooy\u2019s Premier League record and earn Leicester a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.<\/p>\n
The England forward opened the scoring against Manchester United in the 24th minute to surpass Van Nistelrooy\u2019s 10-game mark, which had stood since 2003.<\/p>\n
Vardy found his 14th goal of the season when he got on the end of Christian Fuchs\u2019 pass and rifled past David De Gea from close range and become the first player to score in 11 consecutive games in the Premier League era.<\/p>\n
Manchester United managed to find an equaliser when Bastian Schweinsteiger cancelled out Vardy\u2019s opener with a powerful header from close range to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old started the run of consecutive games with a late penalty in a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth three months earlier in August which included doubles against Arsenal and Southampton, a winner against Watford and the record-equalling strike in a 3-0 win at Newcastle the week before.<\/p>\n
Vardy\u2019s incredible run came after he was made an England international in June, just three years after becoming non-league football\u2019s first \u00a31million player following a move to the King Power Stadium from Fleetwood in 2012.<\/p>\n
After breaking the record, Vardy said: \u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable. I think I got a bit carried away with myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously we\u2019ve got a lot of pace in the team and I think counter-attacking is a big advantage for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can break as quick we have, then obviously it is going to benefit the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vardy\u2019s goals helped power the Foxes to the Premier League crown under Claudio Ranieri and he finished the season as the league\u2019s second top scorer behind Golden Boot winner Sergio Aguero.<\/p>\n
No player has yet to break Vardy\u2019s record which still stands and he went on to win more silverware with Leicester, lifting the FA Cup trophy in 2021 before being relegated with the club in 2023.<\/p>\n
