Watch: Former Ireland international is fast becoming the A-League’s Jamie Vardy

Andy Keogh's breaking records

Robert Redmond

Can Andy Keogh make a late push for the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2016 squad?

Probably not, but the Dubliner is making history down under.

Keogh, who 30 caps for Ireland, became the first player in A-League history to score in eight successive games, when he netted for Perth Glory during their 3-2 victory against Melbourne City this weekend.

The 29 year old, who scored 12 goals last season for the Australian side, wasn’t fazed before kick-off by the added pressure of chasing the record, saying: “I want to break it now and have it in my own right.”

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy set the record for the Premier League earlier this season, scoring in 11 consecutive games.
