2) Leicester 1-1 Manchester United, November 2015

Against Manchester United, Vardy set a Premier League record of scoring in 11 consecutive games

Leicester played host to the struggling Red Devils in late November. Leicester looked to continue their good form against one of the big guns of the Premier League and prove their credentials as serious players in the league.

Jamie Vardy opened the scoring with a precise strike, finishing a brilliant counter attack that was started by goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel. Vardy scored in his eleventh straight game, breaking former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of getting a goal in ten consecutive games.

Manchester United equalised with Bastian Schweinsteiger’s goal at the end of the first half, followed by a scoreless second half. This result cemented Leicester’s growing reputation as a club to be taken seriously.
