JAMIE VARDY became the first player to score against all top six Premier League clubs in the same season.

The England striker may have suffered a crushing 5-1 defeat in Leciester City's loss at table-topping Manchester City.

But point out the centre-forward certainly made a mark with his 24th minute strike.

He proved once more that he has no problem raising his game against class opposition - hopefully a decent omen for England's World Cup finals campaign.

When he found the net to level the score at 1-1 at the Etihad it was Vardy’s 13th league goal strike and his 14th in all competitions.

Vardy bagged two against Arsenal on the opening day of the season.

He's also scored another two in two games against Liverpool and once against Tottenham.

Chelsea and Manchester United have also felt the full force of the former non-league star.

There is also another match against Spurs to come on the last day of the season.

In the meantime, Vardy remains in top form.

Saturday's consolation against City means he has now scored in each of his last four games.
