STAT ATTACK: Newcastle v Leicester - Vardy equals history

Jamie Vardy equalled the Premier League record of scoring in 10 successive Premier League appearances (level with Ruud van Nistelrooy).

Vardy has now scored 13 goals in the Premier League this season, equalling their highest scorer in a single Premier League season (Tony Cottee scored 13 in 1999-00).

The Foxes have now scored in 14 successive Premier League matches.

This was Leonardo Ulloa’s 44th Premier League appearance, but the first time that he’s scored and assisted in the same game in the competition.

The 13 Premier League games involving Leicester City this season have seen 48 goals scored; more than any other side.

Leicester City were bottom of the Premier League after 13 games last season – following this result they went top after 13 games this season.

Newcastle have only scored one goal in their last four Premier League matches.

In fact, Newcastle have scored just 13 goals in 13 Premier League games this season and six of these came in one match (6-2 v Norwich City).
