Jamie Vardy can't have expected to lay claim to this statistic when he was playing non-league football for FC Halifax Town less than five years ago.

The Leicester striker's rise has been incredible, and has earned him a real chance of turning out for England at Euro 2016. He's already the fastest man in the Premier League this season. But if you were in any doubt about how good he's been this season, here's the clincher. https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/656490571213598721 Admittedly Messi has been injured of late, and neither of the La Liga stars have benefited from the service of Danny Drinkwater, but it's impressive all the same. Leicester's fast start to the season has surprised many, but Vardy's prominence - outshining the Foxes' £24m trio of Okazaki, Ulloa and Kramaric - has been the icing on the cake for Claudio Ranieri.
