Jamie Vardy has set a new Premier League record after scoring in an 11th consecutive game in Leicester City’s top-of-the-table clash against Manchester United.
England striker Vardy began his streak three months ago by converting a penalty in the surprise league-leaders’ 1-1 draw at AFC Bournemouth.
A stunning effort in last weekend’s 3-0 win at Newcastle United drew Vardy level with Ruud van Nistelrooy on 10 consecutive goalscoring outings and he broke the record by scoring against the Dutchman’s former club, racing on to Christian Fuchs 24th-minute pass and slotting past David De Gea.
The 28-year-old was playing non-league football with Fleetwood Town in 2012 but can now claim a memorable piece of Premier League history.

Valencia winger Nani could be leaving Mestalla at the end of the season, .
The 30-year-old joined los Che in an €8.5 million deal from Fenerbahce last summer and he did well to produce 4 goals and 6 assists in 22 league appearances.
However, Nani does not seem to be too happy at Mestalla and his lack of motivation has been affecting his latest performances.
The club chiefs and head coach Voro were especially disappointed with the winger’s contribution in the high-profile clash against Real Madrid, and they are seriously thinking about putting the Portugal international up for sale.
Valencia need to raise some cash in the summer transfer window and with Nani still held in high regard by top European clubs, he could be among those to leave.

Rudiger has been a regular in Roma s line-up since joining from Stuttgart ahead of the 2015-16 campaign and, with Inter heavily bankrolled by their wealthy owners Suning Holdings, several reports have suggested a move to San Siro is imminent.
However, the Germany defender – who is on international duty at the Confederations Cup – was keen to cool rumours of a move to Roma s Serie A rivals.
I have read the rumours that I will leave Roma for Inter, he told …

David Raya admitted it was a “great feeling” to help Arsenal into the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years.
Goalkeeper Raya was Arsenal’s hero with two penalty saves as they won a shoot-out against Porto 4-2.
Leandro Trossard’s goal four minutes before half-time levelled the tie at 1-1 on aggregate.
Extra time could not separate the sides and in the shoot-out, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz buried their penalties before Raya tipped Wendell’s spot-kick on to his left-hand post.
Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice then converted and Raya made another fine save from Wenderson Galeno to send the Gunners through.
“Obviously it’s a great feeling especially for me personally, my first time in the Champions League and the …

Nigeria striker Peter Odemwingie is taking heart from Ghana s exploits four years ago ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
After a lengthy absence from the national team following a fall-out with coach Stephen Keshi, the Stoke City striker is back in the squad for the trip to Brazil.
With Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran waiting in Group F, Odemwingie wants Nigeria to try to emulate Ghana s quarter-final effort in South Africa.
They were controversially stopped by Uruguay in the last eight, Luis Suarez s hand denying them what would have been a late extra-time winner, with Asamoah Gyan missing the subsequent penalty before Ghana lost on spot-kicks.
I look at Ghana in the last World Cup and they almost got to the semi-final and if you look at the names of the…

Mats Hummels became the latest Dortmund star to opt to leave for Bayern earlier this month, with the BVB captain playing his last game for the club against his future employers in Saturday s DFB-Pokal final.
