But here we are. The former England international, who holds the record for scoring in the most consecutive Premier League games (11), has now scored in an eighth straight game with today&#8217;s brace taking his overall tally for this season to 16 goals across 16 league outings.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">8\ufe0f\u20e3 goals in 8\ufe0f\u20e3 consecutive <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PL<\/a> matches for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vardy7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@vardy7<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AVLLEI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AVLLEI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/S6h0R7TzQ4\">pic.twitter.com\/S6h0R7TzQ4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Premier League (@premierleague) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/premierleague\/status\/1203683132526022656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The sheer ruthlessness on display has in some ways been the product of Brendan Rodgers&#8217; man-management. Aside from his scoring touch, Vardy is renowned for hustling defenders and chasing lost causes, but Rodgers has reduced his defensive workload so he&#8217;s no longer pressing the whole back four, instead he&#8217;s doing short bursts whilst relying on his teammates to create opportunities for him which is clearly paying dividends.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Loser: Tyrone Mings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>No one likes to see a player getting injured especially ahead of the Christmas fixtures, but the unfortunate setback which Tyrone Mings suffered undoubtedly played a key role in Leicester breaking the deadlock. Just before the 20 minute mark he&#8217;d pull up, feeling the back of his leg, after passing the ball to goalkeeper Tom Heaton it was obvious he was injured\u00a0\u2013 to Villa&#8217;s defence they were preparing to sub him off\u00a0\u2013 however by remaining on the field, Mings now stationed a little deeper kept Vardy onside, and he didn&#8217;t need a second invitation to register yet another goal on the road.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Winner: Jack Grealish<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We&#39;re back underway&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>COME ON VILLA! ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AVLLEI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AVLLEI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AVFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AVFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CONaQDJgTb\">pic.twitter.com\/CONaQDJgTb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AVFCOfficial\/status\/1203691963050078209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a semblance of sense to make your most influential player the captain.

Grealish, as he&#8217;s often done before, won the free-kick that led to Villa getting themselves back into this match.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into half-time interval staring at a 2-0 deficit, the wide-forward drew Foxes right-back Ricardo Pereira into bringing him down, the following set-piece led to a corner which kept the hosts camped in Leicester&#8217;s half and from that pinball Grealish delightfully whipped the ball\u00a0\u2013 via a wicked defection\u00a0\u2013 past Kasper Schmeichel.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Manchester United &amp; Man City Ranked From Worst to Best\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M7IChNUghmQ?start=56&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/sqwk.at\/Squawka-Sub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Loser: Anwar El Ghazi <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Either side could\/should have easily gone in front before Vardy broke the deadlock.
