Jamie Vardy - The new Gabriel Batistuta?

Jamie Vardy becomes the first Englishman to score in nine consecutive Premier League games, notching a penalty in Leicester 2-1 win over Watford

After Jamie Vardy became the first Englishman to score in nine consecutive Premier League games, his manager at Leicester, Claudio Ranieri, says his record reminds him of a certain Argentine striker.

Midlands football reporter Pat Murphy and Mark Lawrenson assess the situation.
