The English Premier League served up a feast of goals and drama as Manchester City re-established its title credentials, Everton conceded an equalizer in the eighth minute of stoppage time, and Newcastle was thrashed again on Saturday.

City grabbed three of the 23 goals in the day's first five games, beating Southampton 3-1 to end a sobering week on a high after losses to Liverpool in the Premier League and Juventus in the Champions League. Kevin De Bruyne scored one goal and set up the other two for Fabian Delph and Aleksandar Kolarov.

The win lifted City provisionally to first place ahead of the late game between Leicester and Manchester United, who started the weekend as the top two.

Junior Stanislas salvaged Bournemouth's last-gasp equalizer in a wild 3-3 draw against Everton, with four of the game's goals going in from the 80th minute. Ross Barkley's goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time restored the lead for Everton, which was 2-0 ahead after 36 minutes.

Newcastle dropped into the bottom three after losing 5-1 at Crystal Palace, which is coached by Alan Padrew — the manager who left Newcastle at the start of the year. Newcastle has conceded at least three goals in four of its last seven matches, piling the pressure on its manager Steve McClaren following reports this week that he was involved in a training-ground bust-up with some players.

Even more galling for Newcastle is the fact that it took the place of northeast rival Sunderland in the relegation zone. Sunderland capitalized on the sending-off of Ryan Shawcross right after halftime to beat Stoke 2-0 through goals in the final eight minutes by Patrick van Aanholt and Duncan Watmore.

Aston Villa was five points adrift in last place after matching the club's longest run without a victory — 13 games — by losing 3-2 to Watford. Troy Deeney, who was released by Villa as a 15-year-old, scored what proved to be Watford's winner in the 85th.

Against Manchester United, Leicester striker Jamie Vardy scored for the 11th straight game — breaking the Premier League record for consecutive scoring matches and tying ex-Blackpool striker Stan Mortensen's all-time top-flight record in England from 1950-51. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Schweinsteiger scoring for United.

 Jamie Vardy wheeled away in celebration, pointing repeatedly to his chest and taking in the adulation of the crowd.

The Leicester striker had just made Premier League history.

Vardy became the first player to score in 11 straight Premier League games when he netted the opening goal in Leicester's 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United on Saturday.

Bastian Schweinsteiger equalized for United, ensuring Leicester slipped from its surprising position at the league summit, but that was just a footnote on a memorable day for Vardy.

Four seasons ago, he was playing non-league football for tiny northern team Fleetwood Town. Now, at 28, he is the hottest forward in the English game.

And the record-breaking goal was typical Vardy. Racing in behind the defense and one-on-one with the goalkeeper, it was a position the pacy striker had found himself in plenty of times in his recent scoring spree — and the result wound up being the same.

He took a touch from Christian Fuchs' perfectly delivered through-ball in the 24th, composed himself and shot powerfully past United goalkeeper David de Gea. The King Power Stadium rocked to the tune of Vardy's 14th goal of a breakthrough campaign, and former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy was no longer the owner of the record for consecutive scoring games in the Premier League.

"Well done vardy7!" Van Nistelrooy, who scored in 10 straight Premier League games in 2003, posted on Twitter soon after Vardy's goal. "You're number one now and you deserved it."

Vardy is a throwback, an old-school striker who never stops running and preys on the shoulder of the last defender. Things seem to happen whenever he is on the ball.

There was excitement whenever Vardy received possession Saturday, inside or outside the penalty box, but he didn't seem burdened by the weight of the occasion when he was given his big chance. His finish was powerful and unerring — gone are the days when he was viewed as a raw, erratic striker.

But Vardy's latest goal wasn't enough to keep Leicester top of the league.

Schweinsteiger lost his marker, Shinji Okazaki, at a corner in first-half injury time and headed in Daley Blind's cross for his first goal for United after his summer move from Bayern Munich.

Leonardo Ulloa squandered Leicester's best chance of a winner, when his weak shot at the end of a rapid counterattack was saved by the De Gea's right foot in the 66th.

Leicester slipped to second place, behind Manchester City on goal difference.
