Jamie Vardy shouldering the pressure of expectation

Jamie Vardy says he does not feel any pressure as he approaches a Premier League goalscoring record.

The England striker's goal in Leicester's 3-2 win at West Brom on Saturday was the eighth successive league match in which he found the net.

Ruud van Nistelrooy holds the record, with 10 consecutive scoring appearances for Manchester United back in 2003.

But Vardy – the current Premier League top scorer with 11 – insists he is focused on helping Leicester maintain their marvellous start to the season, and the record is very much a secondary thought.

"No, all that's at the back of my mind is getting a goal and three points," he said.

"We're flying high and that's where we want to stay, we want to keep putting performances in and picking points up. It's as simple as that."

Leicester have won 10 points from losing positions this season, the best in the league, and have come from behind six times to sit third.

They had to again after Salomon Rondon's opener for the Baggies and Vardy netted following two goals from Riyad Mahrez.

"I've had a few late goals so I'm happy this one went in," Vardy continued.

"We've been going behind and having to do it the hard way. But the team's character and how we are means we know exactly what we have to do to get it back. 

"Now we've got more points than we can ever dream of."

Rickie Lambert's late penalty could not rescue West Brom, who have only won once at home in the league this season.

Vardy and England begin their preparations for Euro 2016 with games against current European champions Spain in Alicante on Friday 13 November.

Their next home game comes four days later at Wembley Stadium against the Euro 2016 hosts, France.

The game against Les Bleus on Tuesday 17 November is also a Breast Cancer Care International, supporting The FA's official charity partner.
