WHAT HAPPENED?
The Foxes forward has also emulated 1999 Treble winner Teddy Sheringham and ex-Wales international Gary Speed after registering his latest goal in the English top-flight. Vardy was on target in Leicester's shock 2-1 win at Tottenham.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Said strike was his seventh in the Premier League this season, to sit alongside three assists. He has become just the fifth player to record 10+ goal involvements in that division when aged 37 or over. Vardy turned 38 on January 11 but is still going strong.
DID YOU KNOW?
The last man to join that list was five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, during his second stint at Old Trafford in 2021-22. Giggs achieved the feat 10 years prior to that, while Speed managed it in 2006-07 and Sheringham – while on the books at Portsmouth - in 2003-04.

WHAT NEXT?
Vardy, who helped to fire Leicester to title glory back in 2015-16 and made a point of reminding Spurs fans of that fact when trolling the north London natives once again, will hope that there are many more goals to come – with the veteran frontman taking his overall tally for the Foxes to 198 through 486 appearances.
