Jamie Vardy became the first player in Premier League history to score in 11 consecutive matches as Leicester City and Manchester United played out a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium this evening.

Vardy's record-breaking goal arrived midway through the first half, but it was cancelled out by a Bastian Schweinsteiger header right on the stroke of half time.

Here, Sports Mole looks at who stood out on an historic day in the Premier League.

LEICESTER

Goal

Kasper Schmeichel: Was quick to set the wheels in motion for the counter-attack that provided Leicester's goal, but perhaps should have come to claim the corner that led to the equaliser. (6/10)

Defence

Danny Simpson: A good, solid performance up against his former club. Rarely looked too troubled and dealt with everything that came his way pretty comfortably. (6/10)

Wes Morgan: A towering performance at the back, from open play at least. Should have organised the defence better from set pieces, but can't take the sole blame for that. (7/10)

Robert Huth: Much like Morgan, he kept United at arm's length when it came to open play, with Rooney getting very little change out of the big centre-back. (7/10)

Christian Fuchs: Looked like Leicester's chief playmaker at times, creating a few chances with good passes forward, including the one that set up Vardy's historic goal. Also a danger with his attacking throw-ins. (7/10)

Midfield

Riyad Mahrez: As bright as ever on the ball, and the instigator of most of Leicester's dangerous counter-attacks. His touch never let him down and he should have finished the game with an assist having set up Ulloa for a great chance. (8/10)

Ngolo Kante: An important protector of those behind him, preventing United from creating chances despite the visitors dominating possession for long spells. (6/10)

Danny Drinkwater: Got through a lot of work in the middle of the park and never abandoned his defensive duties to make things difficult for United. (6/10)

Marc Albrighton: Another who put in the hard yards defensively, but he squandered a good chance at the other end of the field when his lofted pass towards an unmarked Vardy was too high. (6/10)

Attack

Shinji Okazaki: Lost a physical tussle with Schweinsteiger that resulted in the German levelling things up in first-half stoppage time. Full of energy, but unable to make a substantial impact. (6/10)

Jamie Vardy: Such a nightmare for defenders to play against. His pace is electric, his movement is improving with every game and his work rate is unparalleled. Deserves all the praise that comes his way after scoring for a staggering and unprecedented 11th straight Premier League game. It was not a bad finish either. (8/10)

Substitutes

Leonardo Ulloa: Replaced Okazaki on the hour mark and probably should have given his side the win when played in by Mahrez, only to put a tame effort straight at De Gea. (5/10)

Jeffrey Schlupp: On for the final 20 minutes in place of Albrighton and didn't get too many chances to show his pace on the break. (6/10)

Ritchie de Laet: Handed 10 minutes at the end and helped Leicester to see out the game as much as anything. (6/10)

MAN UTD

Goal

David de Gea: May feel that he could have done more with the Vardy goal, but also made decent stops to deny Mahrez and Ulloa. (6/10)

Defence

Paddy McNair: Not an easy game in which to be handed your first start of the season, but he applied himself well and was solid enough. (6/10)

Chris Smalling: Continues to go from strength to strength. Often found himself one on one with players, but showed great pace and anticipation to come out on top time after time. Really is developing into a top centre-back. (8/10)

Daley Blind: Caused Leicester plenty of problems with his deliveries from corners, although that did mean that he was sometimes out of position when the hosts broke. (6/10)

Midfield

Matteo Darmian: Played further forward as a wing-back and may not have done enough to keep his place in the side. Struggled up against Mahrez and was pretty poor going forward too. (5/10)

Michael Carrick: Was always going to struggle against Leicester's pace and energy at times on his return to the side. Kept things ticking over in possession, but United fans want more than that at the moment. (6/10)

Juan Mata: Played in the number 10 role but was perhaps most guilty of United's lack of creativity. Unable to get any joy against a Leicester defence that has kept just two clean sheets all season. (5/10)

Bastian Schweinsteiger: Opened his Manchester United account with a header and was an unlikely aerial presence in the box throughout. The tempo of his play still needs to improve, but he was more active than in many games this season. (7/10)

Ashley Young: Let Vardy go for Leicester's goal and didn't contribute much at either end of the field in truth. (5/10)

Attack

Anthony Martial: Looked like United's brightest attacking threat from open play, although he wasn't given the ball often enough to pose a major problem to the Leicester defence. (6/10)

Wayne Rooney: How many more of these performances will Van Gaal tolerate? Another underwhelming and lacklustre display from the skipper, who created nothing for either himself or his teammates and came off with just 70% pass accuracy. (5/10)

Substitutes

Memphis Depay: Had a few bright moments during a 22-minute cameo and made United look a lot more dangerous than when Rooney was on the pitch, but ultimately couldn't make the difference. (6/10)
