Jamie Vardy credits Leicester squad for goalscoring streak
Sunday 18 October 2015 16:33, UK
Jamie Vardy has put his incredible goalscoring streak down to the strength in depth of Leicester's squad.
Vardy's double at Southampton on Saturday rescued a 2-2 draw for City and put him on the scoresheet for the sixth club game in succession.
The England international is top of the Premier League scoring charts and "oozing confidence", but the role of his team-mates in his recent success has not gone unnoticed.
Leicester substitutes Nathan Dyer and Riyad Mahrez set up Vardy's goals at St Mary's, and he said: "We made the changes at half-time and Riyad has set one up, and Nathan has done the same just before, so they made a brilliant impact.
"We were just on top all the second half. That showed the competition we have in this squad and that can only be good for the club. As a player you want to be on that pitch and in the starting XI.
"It is brilliant at the moment. The way Riyad has fed the ball through, I was clean through. Nathan's cross, you probably won't see me score that many headers but I have managed to get my head on it.
"I am oozing confidence but we just need to keep it going. It is nothing to do with me really. It is a team game and as long as Leicester keep getting the points that is all that matters.
"The team has put me in the position to score the goals and the whole squad has been a massive help to me. Hopefully, it will continue and we will keep getting the points week in and week out."
