Jamie Vardy equals Premier League record as Leicester go top

His excellent start to the 2015-2016 Premier League season has prompted rumours to emerge surrounding the future of the 28 year old striker who signed a four year extension to his contract in August 2014.

He added: “They’re the best players in the country”.

“Any player who plays up front in a Premier League team needs to catch the eye of the England coaching team and the reports that were coming through 12 months ago were that he was raw, a little bit erratic in front of goal but he was lightning quick and a bit of a handful”, he said.

“We just take every game as it comes”. Hopefully, once it’s game time, I’ll be able to put that into practice.

It was his 13th goal of the season, though van Nistelrooy, who was magnanimous enough to send his record-seeking successor a good-luck message before the game, will no doubt point out that 15 goals arrived during his ideal 10 games.

Leicester going top was the highlight of a memorable afternoon when “La Marseillaise”, the French national anthem, was played at grounds throughout England as a mark of solidarity with France following last week’s Paris attacks.

Real Madrid do have a history of purchasing English players, with the likes of David Beckham and Steve McManaman having played their football at the Santiago Bernabéu and having success for Los Blancos. “It’s hard after the global break because you don’t know what will happen”.

“I kept getting it sent to me [Van Nistelrooy’s message], so fair play to him for doing that. If somebody came in it would give him the chance to kick on again”.

Vardy has now scored 13 league goals so far this season and fittingly he can move ahead of van Nistelrooy when United visit the King Power Stadium next weekend.

Jamie Vardy has shared the secret of his ten-game scoring streak after manager Claudio Ranieri compared him to former Argentina star striker Gabriel Batistuta.

Leonardo Ulloa laid on Vardy’s record-equalling effort before heading home himself and Japan forward Shinji Okazaki came off the bench to wrap up the points.

Watford striker Troy Deeney scored a 90th-minute own goal, soon after converting an equalizing penalty, to gift Man United victory at Vicarage Road. I can change things like I did.

Their manager Louis van Gaal took heart from their overall performance and the fact they went top even though it was only to be for a short time.

Tottenham play London rivals West Ham on Sunday, with Monday’s top flight match between Crystal Palace and Sunderland. We have always known what the job is, and it is a tough one. “I am very, very happy”.
