PREMIER LEAGUE: Jamie Vardy scores in record-equalling 10th consecutive PL match
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has scored in a record-equalling 10th consecutive Premier League match against Newcastle..
The England striker scored in first-half injury time to equal former Ruud van Nistelrooy's consecutive Premier League goal-scoring record.
Vardy played a neat one-two with Leonardo Ulloa, cut inside Moussa Sissoko and celebrated wildly after firing into the bottom left hand corner.

The next record in Vardy's sights now will be the all-time top flight record set by Blackpool's Stanley Mortensen, with 11 in the 1950s.
A hip injury meant the England striker was a doubt coming into the contest but, having been passed fit, he started up front for manager Claudio Ranieri.
Van Nistelrooy scored in 10 consecutive games for Manchester United in 2003 and took to social media on Friday to wish Vardy good luck.
