The Leicester City striker brought up the landmark on his 205th appearance in the division, putting the Champions League-chasing Foxes 2-0 to the good.

Few of the former England international’s ton have been so straightforward, as Harvey Barnes capitalised upon a slip from Palace defender Mamadou Sakho to leave Vardy with a simple finish.

It makes him the 29th player to reach a century of goals in the Premier League and the 16th to do so for a single club.

Vardy now has 20 this season, making the 33-year-old the leading scorer in England’s top flight.

His achievement is made all the more remarkable by the fact that Vardy was still playing non-League football at the age of 25.
