Vardy became the Premier League's oldest Golden Boot winner after finishing the 2019-20 season with 23 goals, one more than nearest challengers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Danny Ings.
Even with a short break between the campaigns, Vardy showed no sign of weariness in Leicester's season opener at the Hawthorns on Sunday. Both goals were expertly taken penalties -- the first of which he won himself -- to ensure Vardy has scored in all five of his away Premier League appearances against West Brom.
The only player in Premier League history to play as many away matches against an opponent and score in each match is Ruud van Nistelrooy for Manchester United at Newcastle United. There certainly was a similarity to the Dutch striker's pinpoint penalty-taking in Vardy's spot kicks."He's a box player," Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said. "He'll never be dropping back to join with bright intricate play but he's a killer in the box.
Vardy appears to have already vindicated his decision to retire from international football to prolong his club career. The Englishman has scored 34 goals in the Premier League under Rodgers and has netted more goals than any other player in the top flight since March 2019.Article type: metered
