Best Memes and Tweets From Jamie Vardy’s 10-Game Premier League Goal Streak
Premier League round-up: Jamie Vardy scored for the 10th game in a row to equal Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Premier League record and maintain Leicester’s remarkable challenge as they went top of the table after a 3-0 win away to Newcastle.
Newcastle United’s fans have been praised for applauding Jamie Vardy after he scored for the tenth successive game – by Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri.
Vardy began his scoring run with a goal against Bournemouth on Aug.29.
That said, Leicester sit one point back from league leaders Arsenal and Manchester City for a reason.
What makes his equalling of the record even more impressive is that he has done it in one season rather than over two seasons which was how Van Nistelrooy managed his achievement.
With 12 goals, he is the top scorer on these shores, and has been linked with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United. “There was a bit of luck but we are happy to get the three points”.
Van Nistelrooy took to social media on Friday to wish Vardy well – a gesture that meant a lot to the former Fleetwood Town man. Believe you me the message to them is back on the training field on Monday and try to get a few consistency in our performances. “We have a never say die attitude, we’ll fight for each other right to the very end”.
Doubtlessly Perez will be looking to answer the criticism by getting on the score sheet or by at the very least providing strike partner Aleksandar Mitrovic with a goal or two.
In common with the rest of tomorrow’s Premier League matches, the game at St James’ Park will feature a series of tributes to those affected by the recent terrorist atrocities in France.
Also, Everton beat Aston Villa 4-0 courtesy of doubles from Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku, who became the fifth player – after Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo – to reach 50 top-flight goals before the age of 23.
SPANISH LEAGUE: Luis Suarez scored twice and Neymar added a goal and an assist to lead Barcelona to an emphatic 4-0 win over Real Madrid.
“It wasn’t easy because after the worldwide break, you don’t know what will happen”.
