Jamie Vardy has been in remarkable form for Leicester City this season, so much so that his goal during yesterday's 3-0 win over Newcastle United meant that the striker had scored in 10 Premier League matches in a row.
In doing so the 28-year-old equalled the Premier League record that was set by ex-Manchester United frontman Ruud van Nistelrooy, who like Vardy, reached that landmark at St James' Park in 2003.
By chance, Vardy will have the opportunity to make it 11 games on the bounce when he comes up against Van Nistelrooy's former employers at the King Power Stadium next weekend.
Before that, Sports Mole has taken a look at the goals that fired the England international to his impressive milestone.

The run started way back in late August down on the South Coast against newly-promoted Bournemouth. It seemed that the hosting Cherries were going to collect all three points thanks to Callum Wilson's first-half strike.
But, with four minutes remaining Vardy accelerated into the home side's area, only to be upended by Steve Cook. The striker dusted himself down to take the resultant penalty, which he duly sent beyond Artur Boruc.

The hosting Foxes found themselves 2-0 down to Tim Sherwood's Villa, who were the dominant force for much of the encounter in the East Midlands.
Vardy helped to spearhead the comeback, though, by scoring the equalising goal in a 3-2 triumph. Danny Drinkwater drilled in a cross for the number nine, who reacted quickest to prod the ball home.

Once again Leicester allowed the opposition to open up a two-goal advantage before they sprung into life, this time at Stoke's Britannia Stadium.
Riyad Mahrez pulled one goal back, before Vardy clinched a point in the 69th minute. Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland has been in top form between the posts this season, but he could do little to stop the striker's effort.
Arsenal, September 26

Claudio Ranieri's men have lost just once in the Premier League this term and that was at the hands of Arsenal, who turned in a five-star performance at the King Power Stadium.
Yet, the Gunners still found it impossible to shackle Vardy as he notched both of Leicester's goals. He broke the deadlock with a composed curling finish, while his second of the encounter was little more than a consolation.

There was 28 minutes showing on the clock when centre-back Sebastien Bassong was adjudged to have fouled Vardy inside the Norwich box.
The Leicester centre-forward showed little hesitation in placing the ball on the spot and his finish was equally as calm. Home goalkeeper John Ruddy guessed incorrectly as Vardy slammed the ball into the top left hand corner.

First-half goals from Jose Fonte and Virgil van Dijk put the hosting Saints two goals to the good at the St Mary's Stadium - sound familiar Leicester fans?!
Almost single-handedly Vardy rescued a point for the visitors, with his first goal of the contest arriving in the 66th minute when he exploited the space that he was afforded. Then, in the first minute of stoppage time he lashed a shot into the roof of Kelvin Davis's net, much to the delight of the travelling contingent.
Crystal Palace, October 24

Already the Premier League's top goalscorer, Vardy took his tally for the campaign into double figures when Palace made the trip to the King Power Stadium.
Having been played through by Mahrez, Vardy raced clear of the away side's defence. He then lifted the ball over advancing Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey and scampered after the loose ball to hammer it home.
West Bromwich Albion, October 31

Only Van Nistelrooy and Daniel Sturridge had scored in eight successive Premier League matches, but Vardy joined that exclusive club when he put Leicester 3-1 up at the Hawthorns.
After he had exchanged passes with Drinkwater on the halfway line, Vardy showed a 100m sprinter's speed to move away from the West Brom rearguard. Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill did his best to close down the angle, but the clinical Vardy made the finish look easy.

During this goal-laden run, this was arguably Vardy's least effective performance. In his defence he was troubled by a hip injury that went on to rule him out of England's upcoming friendly encounters against Spain and France.
Even so, he was still able to become the only Englishman to score in nine Premier League games on the bounce. Having been clearly fouled by visiting goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, Vardy stepped up to slam the resultant penalty into the Brazilian's net.
Newcastle United, November 21

Prior to Leicester's trip to Tyneside there had been some doubt surrounding Vardy's availability owing to the complaint that he picked up against Watford.
He was passed fit, though, and went on to draw himself level with Van Nistelrooy in first-half stoppage time. After jinking in from the left, Vardy produced a low effort that got the better of Rob Elliot in the home net. It was his 13th goal of a prolific campaign to date.
