Premier League: No time to celebrate for high-flying Vardy

Jamie Vardy refused to party on Saturday night despite his record-breaking goal for Leicester.

Vardy became the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches — beating Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 12-year-old record — when he fired in the opening goal in Leicester’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

While Vardy was being mobbed by his teammates, the Leicester fans joined in with the celebrations, chanting: “Jamie Vardy is having a party.” But there was no celebrating from the England international after the match.

He said he did not feel in a party mood for two reasons — firstly, because Leicester had missed the chance to beat United and secondly because he does not want anything to disrupt his form or his club’s.

“No, no, I will be at home relaxing,” Vardy said when asked if he would celebrate on Saturday night.
