Leicester City striker and legend Jamie Vardy has reached an all-time King Power Stadium landmark with his second half penalty against Watford on Wednesday night .

The former Fleetwood and Halifax Town man was as trustworthy as ever from the penalty spot against the Hornets after he was called upon to find the back of the net after Adam Masina was ruled to have put his hands in Jonny Evans' face when defending a cross .

Referre Craig Pawson had no choice but to point to the spot and Vardy converted for the seventh consecutive game, stroking the penalty past Ben Foster.

That was his 13th goal of the season for the Foxes in just 15 appearances at the ripe old age of 32, and while he is now just four games away from breaking his own record of consecutive Premier League games scored in, the striker has added yet another all-time Foxes record to his CV this evening.

His penalty was his 50th goal at the King Power Stadium, making him the first Leicester player to reach that milestone.

City moved from their Filbert Street home to the then Walkers Stadium in 2002 and in the 17 years that have passed no player has bagged more than Vardy.

Vardy's goal-scoring exploits during 2019 has already seen him surpass Gary Lineker and Derek Hines in the club's all-time leading goalscorer list that sees him currently placed fourth.
