Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy equalled former Manchester United forward Ruud van Nustelrooy's record of scoring in 10 consecutive English Premier League games when he netted away to Newcastle United on Saturday.

England international Vardy struck in first-half stoppage-time at St James' Park.

Dutch striker van Nistelrooy's streak was spread over two seasons, starting against Fulham on March 22, 2003 and ending against Newcastle on August 23, 2003, with eight goals coming in the 2002/03 campaign and two in 2003/04.

By contrast, all of Vardy's goals in consecutive Leicester games have come this season, starting on August 29 against Bournemouth.
