Comments:

League position: 3rd In converting the match-winning penalty, Jamie Vardy became only the second player to score in nine consecutive Premier League games. Manchester United's Ruud Van Nistelrooy extended his sequence to ten games in 2003. The post-war record for the top division is 11 games by Stan Mortensen for Blackpool in 1950-51. The all-time record for the top division is 12 games by Jimmy Dunne for Sheffield United in 1931-32. The English league record is 13 games by Tom Phillipson of Wolverhampton Wanderers in League Division Two in 1926-27. A total of 45 goals had been scored in the Foxes' Premier League games so far in this season (25 for and 20 against); the most in the division.

Comments:

League position: 11th Watford's only other away defeat in the Premier League so far in this season came in August at leaders Manchester City (won two and drawn two). 11 of the 12 goals that the Hornets had now conceded so far in 2015-16 had been scored in the second-half.
