Premier League scoring record ‘unbelievable’ – Vardy

Jamie Vardy broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record as he became the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches, Vardy raced onto a Christian Fuchs through ball and calmly slotted past David De Gea.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal explained why he shifted to a 3-5-2 formation when his team visited King Power Stadium yesterday. I have the feeling that we could have won this game.

“I told the players to win and try and help Jamie break the record”, the Italian told The Guardian.

“Well done vardy7! You’re number one now and you deserved it. #11inarow”, the former United striker tweeted.

Vardy was quoted in the Telegraph saying: “I think it’s just getting common knowledge now, I’m getting an injury every week”.

“One of the benefits is I played more games than I trained, it was a case of playing twice a week and maybe having a training session twice a week”.

“I went for a nice quiet meal”, he said.

Jamie Vardy’s record scoring run will encourage Premier League clubs to scour for further hidden gems, according to fellow non-League graduate Chris Smalling. “It’s a bit disappointing the way we conceded their goal because it could have been three points”.

“Fair play to him”.

Thanks to everyone for all the congratulation messages! “We were a little nervous until the third goal, but I’m happy with the performance and the result”. “He wants to progress on what we did last year and then, in the years to come, he wants to keep us going up and up and up”.

“Obviously we’ve got a lot of pace in the team and I think counter-attacking is a big advantage for us”.

It’s a familiar story in La Liga and Ligue Un, with the European giants flexing their financial muscles as they sit pretty at the top of their respective leagues.

“As soon as I am in training or on the pitch on match days, the team is all I should be concentrating on”. Manchester City now have 29 points from 14 matches, which is enough to lift Manuel Pellegrini’s men over Leicester as leaders of the Premier League.

“You don’t get that many chances in this league so you have to be clinical”.

Schooled in non-League football during spells with Stocksbridge Park Steels, Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town, England worldwide Vardy says he has come to recognise persistent niggles as a outcome of his all-action style of play.
