The former United striker's record had stood since 2003, but it was broken by the 28-year-old England striker's first-half drive.
Below is a look at some of the best Twitter reaction.
All-time leading Premier League goalscorer Alan Shearer (@alanshearer): 'Congratulations @vardy7 what a magnificent achievement!!! #11inarow'
