What record did Jamie Vardy break in this match?

Peter Schmeichel 0:00
Peter Schmeichel, if you don't remember too much about this game, will we remember it as the game that Jamie Vardy broke the Premier League record?
Jamie Carragher 0:06
Well, you know, to be under that kind of pressure and go out and perform like that, I think Jamie Vardy's just underlined how big a player he is in the Premier League. To score 11 goals in successive matches is just an unbelievable achievement.
Peter Schmeichel 0:21
It's an amazing achievement, and I'm very pleased to say that Jamie Vardy has rushed off the field to speak to us live here on Saturday Night Football. Congratulations, Jamie. That must feel like a huge weight off your shoulders.

How did Jamie Vardy handle the pressure of breaking the record?

Peter Schmeichel 0:33
11 consecutive games, and you've made history tonight.
Jamie Vardy 0:38
Yeah, I'm obviously delighted, but the main thing was the performance, and I think we've put a very good shift in today, and in the end, I think a point will probably have a fair result.
Peter Schmeichel 0:48
But let's just talk about the goal before we come to the performance itself. I want you to have another look at it. It was actually a corner that you were defending. Is this a point where you feel that you can hurt teams?
Jamie Vardy 1:01
Yeah, I think obviously we've got a lot of pace in the team and I think counter-attacking is a big advantage for us and if we can break as quick as we have coming straight from a corner to getting a goal, then obviously it's going to benefit the team.
Peter Schmeichel 1:13
How good does that feel, watching that?
Jamie Vardy 1:16
Yeah, it's unbelievable. I think I got a bit carried away with myself. Jamie, what are you saying there, running off?
Peter Schmeichel 1:23
Oh, let's not go there, Peter.
Jamie Vardy 1:26
I don't think I can repeat it, to be honest with you.
Peter Schmeichel 1:29
I guess it's just a lot of relief coming off, because has it been a difficult week for you? Because there's been so much talk about this record, so much talk and focus on you this week.
Jamie Vardy 1:40
Yeah, there has, but I think, obviously, if I let it get to me, then it's going to affect my performance, so I've just been keeping my head down, not trying to let it sink in my head, and just concentrating. It's just another game that we wanted to try and get three points in.
Unknown 1:53
Jamie, you were up against Chris Smallen today. He's been one of the top defenders in the league this season. How did you find it coming up against him?
Jamie Vardy 2:01
Yeah, I knew it was going to be a battle, and like you say, he's been one of the best this season, and to be honest with you, I think for the neutrals, it was a very entertaining battle.
Peter Schmeichel 2:09
Do you think there'll be a little bit of disappointment in the dressing room that you haven't actually managed to beat Manchester United today?
Jamie Vardy 2:16
Yeah, there will be a bit. I think we're a bit disappointed in the way that we conceded the goal by half-time. But, like I say, I think overall a point was probably a fair result.
Peter Schmeichel 2:26
Congratulations. Any plan then to stay in the top two or three for the rest of the season, I'm guessing?
Jamie Vardy 2:32
Well, obviously, we'll just be taking each game as they come. We'll be getting back on that training field this week now and looking forward to Swansea away next week. Quite right, Jamie.
Peter Schmeichel 2:39
But enjoy this moment, if you can, individually as well.
Jamie Vardy 2:43
Yeah, I will do.

What was the significance of Leicester's performance against Manchester United?

Unknown 2:44
Thank you very much. He's scored again! He's on fire! He's done it yet again! The goals just keep on coming. He was never in doubt.
Jamie Vardy! History maker! It's 11!
Peter Schmeichel 3:22
It's heaven for Jamie Vardy!

How did the goal from a corner impact the match dynamics?

Peter Schmeichel 3:23
It's a Premier League record and a little bit of history for Jamie Vardy. And it finished one apiece between Leicester City and Manchester United. That one of three efforts that Leicester had on target to United's two, one of which was the equaliser just before half-time from Bastian Schweinsteiger. And he went through to form in terms of possession. Manchester United having a lot of the ball, 69%. That's their highest total this year to Leicester's 31%. Passes per shot, Manchester United slightly down on that today, 59%. Leicester with 38%. United also having twice as many touches in the opposition area. but it will be remembered as Jamie Vardy's day. Just let's have a look at the story of his day, Jamie.
Peter Schmeichel 4:04
He is one of those players that we weren't really talking about before the start of this season, but do his efforts justify what we've seen from him today?
