Premier League Week 13 Review: Leicester Move to the Top

A Jamie Vardy inspired Leicester City are the Premier League leaders after a thumping display away at St James Park; Liverpool Slam Four Past Man City.

The mugshot of Leicester City is currently taking centre stage in the gallery of the glorious. Claudio Ranieri’s men are the unlikeliest of Premier League leaders. Jamie Vardy is the unlikeliest of Premier League top goalscorers.

For all of his industry and hard work, Vardy couldn’t hit a barn door from five yards last year. On Saturday, he fired the first of three Leicester goals, in a lopsided affair away at Newcastle. It was a goal that equalled the Premier League best-ever goalscoring streak of 10 – a record Ruud van Nistelrooy once created in the very same stadium when playing for Man Utd. Don’t put it past the young man to make it 11 next week.

Leicester broke with pace.
