10 iconic moments from the 2015/16 Premier League season

After one whirlwind of a Premier League season, it is finally time to say goodbye. Leicester City scripted, arguably the most unlikeliest of title wins in the history of the game. The Foxes beat incredible odds of 5000/1 to lift the trophy.

Something like this might never happen again but there were also other iconic moments that defined the season and gave fans around the world to remember the year by. A season when the big teams were expected to fire saw a renaissance by the so-called smaller sides.

So here are the 10 iconic moments from the season

10) Jamie Vardy breaking Van Nistelrooy’s record

A true rags to riches story

Jamie Vardy’s season just highlights the incredible nature of Leicester City’s title win. The English striker was playing non-league football not so long ago and now he has been called up by Roy Hodgson to the English National Team for the Euros which will take place in France this summer.

Vardy broke a goalscoring record this season that was held by former Manchester United hitman Ruud Van Nistelrooy. The Dutchman scored in 10 consecutive premier League games which was the longest by a player in the Premier League.

Vardy broke that record by going one better scoring in  his 11th consecutive game which was against Nistelrooy’s old club. A very fitting way for the striker to crown his achievement. Only time will tell how long this record will last!
