Jamie Vardy has beaten the record for scoring in the most consecutive Premier League matches.
The England international became the first player to net in 11 successive top-flight games when he put Leicester 1-0 up against Manchester United on Saturday evening.
Bastian Schweinsteiger replied with a headed equaliser on the cusp of half-time to leave the scores locked at 1-1 at half-time.
But it was Vardy's moment of history that was the standout moment of the opening period and lit up the King Power Stadium.
The striker ruthlessly finished off a counter-attack from a United corner at the 24-minute mark after killing Christian Fuch's defence-splitting pass with his first touch and then driving past David de Gea with his second.
The home supporters celebrated ecstatically as the former non-league player basked in a truly memorable moment.
It gave Leicester the advantage in the top-of-the-table clash which both sides must win to supplant first-placed Manchester City at the Premier League summit.
