Jamie Vardy joins Ronaldo and Giggs on elite list as he trolls Spurs fans again

talksport.com, 26 January 2025, 15:45
Jamie Vardy celebrated joining an elite group of Premier League legends the only way he knew how - by trolling Tottenham fans.

The 38-year-old kickstarted Leicester's dramatic 2-1 comeback win against Spurs by scoring the equaliser two minutes after half-time.

The former England international bundled home Bobby De Cordova-Reid's low cross from close range to cancel out Richarlison's strike.

It was Vardy's seventh Premier League goal of the season, and in doing so, he joined an elite club for top-flight veterans.

The striker, who also has three assists, is now one of only five players to have been directly involved in 10 goals in a Premier League season aged 37 or over.

The first was achieved by fellow England star Teddy Sheringham, during his twilight years at Portsmouth during the 2003/04 campaign.

Gary Speed and Ryan Giggs both managed the feat, with Cristiano Ronaldo's first season back at Manchester United the most recent.

All of the quartet lacked the Vardy flavour when celebrating the achievement, with the Leicester man reigniting his feud with Spurs fans.

The first of Vardy's most recent record-breaking run ironically also came against Ange Postecoglou's side in August's reverse fixture.

During the Foxes' first game back in the Premier League, the forward again notched his club's equaliser in a 1-1 draw.

On both occasions, Vardy pointed to the Premier League badge on his shirt, then made a 1-0 gesture at the travelling Spurs support.

The 2016 title winner enjoys reminding the Lilywhite faithful that he has lifted the top-flight trophy where they haven't.

Asked about his banter with the Spurs travelling fans in August, Vardy told Sky Sports: "You take a bit of stick during the game.

"As long as they can take it when I give it back then it's all good."

Vardy's most recent antics may prove even sweeter, having proved the catalyst for Leicester to complete a turnaround to make it 2-1.

Just three minutes after his goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Bilal El Khannouss found the net from the edge of the box.

Leicester then held on for a priceless three points to seal a fourth straight Premier League loss for Postecoglou's men.

Vardy told the BBC: "It is big, hopefully, it stops the rot we have been in.

"We have been playing some decent football for probably half a game and it has let us down a bit.

"The lads there battled through for 90 minutes and it is credit too to the manager what he's been doing on the training pitch.

"At times you want to be the team playing the nice football but at times during a game, it is not on. We have all stuck together as a team. We knuckled down, stayed together and got the big win.

"As a striker, you just want to score in every game and that is what I am trying to do."

Asked if Leicester can go on to avoid the drop, Vardy added: "100 per cent back every single one of them. We all know what is at stake.

"We want to play nice football but that was three points in the right direction and hopefully the start of a run."
