Only the second in history. Vardy saved Van Nistelrooy from his first defeat in the Premier League

In the 15th round of the English Premier League, Leicester hosted Brighton. This was the second match for Ruud van Nistelrooy as head coach of the home team, and once again, his side managed to avoid defeat in the final minutes.

The hero of the match was the ageless veteran Jamie Vardy. The Foxes were trailing 0-2 in the 86th minute when the 37-year-old striker took charge. First, he pulled one back after a pass from substitute Bobby Reid, and five minutes later, Vardy himself assisted Jamaican midfielder in scoring.

Notably, Vardy became the second-oldest player in Premier League history to score and provide an assist in the same match. At the time of the match, Vardy was 37 years and 332 days old, with the record held by Ryan Giggs.

Following the 15th round, Leicester remains in 16th place in the standings. Their next match will be on December 14 against Newcastle.
