What is Jamie Vardy’s consecutive Premier League goal record? Alexander Isak closing in on incredible feat
Jamie Vardy’s incredible record of scoring in consecutive Premier League games is under threat from Alexander Isak. The Newcastle United striker is on a scintillating run, bagging 11 goals in his last eight matches. Isak is unstoppable at the momentGetty Isak is the in-form striker in Europe right now, and Vardy will be hoping he stops scoring soon because his record is in danger of falling. What is Jamie Vardy’s consecutive Premier League goal record? During Leicester City’s Premier League winning 2015/16 season, Vardy made a extra piece of history himself. The striker managed to score in 11 consecutive top-flight games, beating Ruud van Nistelrooy‘s previous record of ten. The then-Manchester United forward achieved the feat over two seasons, ending the 2002/03 campaign by scoring in eight matches before bagging in the first two of the following season. Vardy managed his across one season, starting with a goal in a draw against Bournemouth. The Foxes legend then netted against Aston Villa, Stoke, Arsenal, Norwich, Southampton, Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion and Watford. He equalled Van Nistelrooy’s record in a 3-0 win over Newcastle at St James’ Park before becoming a record-breaker in a draw with Man United at the King Power Stadium. It was a moment that will forever be etched in top-flight history… unless Isak surpasses it.

He is currently level with Vardy again for his scoring run in 2019 as well as Van Nistelrooy and Daniel Sturridge. The 25-year-old started this run in a 3-3 draw with Liverpool when he smashed in a stunning strike from 25 yards. The goals have continued to come for Isak, including his first Premier League hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Ipswich. His last match saw him score twice in a victory over Wolves. The Magpies’ next three fixtures are against Bournemouth, Southampton and Fulham. Two of those are at home, while Isak will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing 20th-placed Southampton. Certainly, in the form he’s in, this Vardy record is very much in danger. Isak had a relatively slow start to the season after scoring 21 times in 30 Premier League games last year.
