Newcastle United 0-3 Leicester City: Vardy equals record as Foxes go top

Leicester City moved to the top of the Premier League as Jamie Vardy extended his goal-scoring run in a 3-0 victory away to Newcastle United.

Jamie Vardy equaled Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of scoring in 10 straight Premier League games as Leicester City moved to the top of the table with a 3-0 win over Newcastle United on Saturday.

The England international's sensational run of form in front of goal showed no signs of abating as he netted the opener, before Leonardo Ulloa and Shinji Okazaki sealed victory at St. James' Park.

Having been denied on two earlier occasions, Vardy moved level with Van Nistelrooy in first-half stoppage time as he cut inside Moussa Sissoko and rifled a low shot past Rob Elliot.
