Chapter 1: What record did Jamie Vardy break in this match?
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?
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.
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.
Chapter 2: How did Jamie Vardy handle the pressure of breaking the record?
11 consecutive games, and you've made history tonight.
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.
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?
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.
How good does that feel, watching that?
Yeah, it's unbelievable. I think I got a bit carried away with myself. Jamie, what are you saying there, running off?
Oh, let's not go there, Peter.
I don't think I can repeat it, to be honest with you.
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.

Chapter 3: What was the significance of Leicester's performance against Manchester United?
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!
It's heaven for Jamie Vardy!
Chapter 4: How did the goal from a corner impact the match dynamics?
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.
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?
Yeah, and it's getting to the stage now where you watch Jamie Vardy and it's... It is just a fantastic spell he's going to go through, and is he going to come out of it? I'm actually watching him now, you see the reports this weekend, Chelsea getting linked with him.
Now, I think the top teams should be looking at this player, because you look at Manchester United today, they could do it, Jamie Vardy. They could do it, that energy, that pace, that aggression and attack. They're lacking that. They're one of the biggest clubs in world football, playing huge fees for players. But they could do with Jamie Vardy and not just Manchester United.
Would he fit in? I don't think he'd fit in. You wouldn't want him playing for Manchester United, would you? I'd love to see Jamie Vardy move on and become stronger and play for England, start for England. But even that is a debate. This is the top scorer in England in the Premier League. He's just beaten this incredible record.
He's just beaten Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was an unbelievable goalscorer. And you also have a debate. Should he play for England? Should he even be in the squad? He should be in the squad. Yeah, of course he should, but it's the kind of player he is. Would he fit into Fengal's way of thinking?
Maybe he wouldn't, but Manchester United... I would love to see him in that club. The lack of pace in some of the attacking players. You think of Mata there today, Wayne Rooney as well. You've got Martial who adds that pace. I've never seen a slower Manchester United team in my life.
Jamie, what Vardy does for Leicester is to inject energy. Isn't that what Manchester United need? Exactly, but there are players in the Leicester team that respond to that. We've just seen a very, very slowly played Manchester United team. I mean, look at the statistics there. They're leading every statistic on passing and accuracy.

Chapter 5: What were the key statistics from the game?
It's something they have to work on. But they've worked on so many other things that really work for them in the game. Of course, you have to work on everything and every aspect of your game. Set pieces is one of them. And you never leave a gap like that in the middle of here. We can discuss, should Kasper come for the crush? Should he not come for the crush?
The thing about when you decide, you decide as a goalkeeper the moment you hit the ball. Just see what the ball does. The ball just pops up in the air. It's actually a really well-taken corner kick. It pops up, and you think straight away, it's going to go to this area here. No, I'm going to go back to the line. And that's what he's doing.
It's a great taken corner kick, but there should be someone in here, and that's something they have to work on. What they have, and they've put someone on the post, which they haven't had for a long while, because they've conceded goals on the back post. So they've already had this in training as an issue.
I want to bring Jamie in because Jamie was part, very famously, of a Liverpool defence that used zonal marking a lot defending set pieces. Here it's man-to-man and it's Okazaki that gets done by Schweinsteiger. What would be the advantages here, Jamie, of going with the zonal system?
Well, what I would say, first of all, both systems will concede goals, but when a goal is scored against zonal marking, you blame the system, you say zonal marking. This is the problem with man-to-man in that if you look at all the players now... He's Michael Martial, not watching the ball. Danny Simpson there is with Rooney, not watching the ball.
There's a player there, I think it's Wes Morgan, not watching the ball. And Schweinsteiger and Okazaki there, together, not watching the ball. The only person who is watching the ball... is Huth, and he's not close enough to his man, because it's very difficult, man-marking, to watch the ball and stay with your man. So that is the problem with man-marking, but no-one will say that tonight.
No-one will say, man-marking the problem. We'll just blame the man who's lost his... Just do that for one second, because there's another thing that we need to have into this.
Man-marking.

Chapter 6: How does Leicester City’s counter-attacking style benefit them?
I would always man-mark, but I'd always have someone free. I mean, you have the one here.
Do you want someone in the centre of the goal?
I don't understand this. I don't understand if Vardy's there, why Mahrez is there, and what is Albrighton doing there?
Well, I think Albrighton's the one. I mean, why is he not here? There should be someone in here. Well, Mahrez, to be fair, I think is with one matter. We can't really have a go at Vardy because he gets the goal from that on another corner.
Yeah, I know. So we've got to leave that one. I know that, but this is... We're talking about... organizing from a corner kick. From a goalkeeper's perspective, you'd always want the man-man, and always track your runners. But you'll always have one at the front post area, and then one around this area here.
Because what I said before, you make your decision up to come for the cross as a goalkeeper very, very early on. So you need someone to help you out here. You also need someone in here so when they're running, they're seeing that shirt, right? I think part of the reason that he's not coming is that he's actually seen red shirts coming in towards you. And sometimes that stops you.
It stops you because you know if you take a step and you run into someone, you fall over and then it's an easy finish for someone in this area here.
Are goalkeepers ever at fault for any goal for you?
Never.

Chapter 7: What does Jamie Vardy's future look like with top clubs?
and we have dominated the game. I have the feeling that we could have won this game, and I think also that I have said to my players, this kind of matches you have to win when you want to be champion at the end of the season. But after the deception against PSV, they could train a whole week, to prepare and we didn't train after the game against PSV.
I have a bad feeling because we could have won this game, but I'm also proud that they could play like this.
What did you make of their goal, coming from a counter-attack, scored by Jamie Vardy, was it everything you'd planned to stop?
Yeah, but... You can imagine that we have said that and prepared that and showed that, because that's their quality, and especially after a corner kick. It was unbelievable that that could happen. We gave the goal away, but it's of course the quality of Vardy also.
What about your goal? You were such a threat from set pieces tonight, won almost every header. Why do you think that was?
because of the teker, Daily Blind.
Good quality into the box?
Yeah, when you deliver that, that... pass, then you can always be dangerous. It was already the last match against PSV, also the same, so we have changed the taker and that's the reason.
What about the threat from open play? You said in your first starts you dominated the game, you had 69 per cent possession. Would you have liked your team to do more, create more with the possession you had?
