In 2012, Jamie Vardy was playing for Fleetwood Town in the fifth division of English soccer. In 2015, he's set one of the most impressive records in the Premier League by scoring in 11 straight games, breaking the previous record of 10 by Ruud van Nistelrooy. And perhaps the best part, he's done it against RVN's old team, Manchester United.

— NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) November 28, 2015 It was exactly the kind of goal we've come to expect from Leicester City and Vardy. They don't even have the ball, and then bang, in a flash, a direct pass for Vardy to run onto and an early smash into the back of the net.
Vardy’s been Leicester’s best player so far this year, but his feat isn’t just an individual one. That goal also put Leicester top of the live table.
