Leicester: Jamie Vardy’s provocation to Tottenham supporters

On Leicester’s pitch, the Foxes hosted Tottenham for a match that promised to be enticing. From the start, the Spurs put their stamp on the game and quickly began to look more and more threatening. After half an hour of play, it was finally Pedro Porro who allowed the Londoners to take the lead thanks to a beautiful cross header (0-1, 29th). Leicester got back into the game thanks to Jamie Vardy. Unstoppable, the Foxes legend found himself alone at the far post after a cross from Fatawu. A godsend for the 37-year-old striker who sent a powerful header into the empty goal (1-1, 58th).

Provoked and jostled by Spurs supporters, Jamie Vardy even offered himself a little provocation aimed at London supporters. Showing the Premier League logo and miming the number one followed by the number zero, the 37-year-old English striker wanted to recall his record in comparison to that of Tottenham, still without a Premier League title. It was also a way of recalling the incredible epic of the Foxes during the 2016 season. A major player alongside Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kanté, Vardy put the church back in the middle of the village by mocking Tottenham, a club often singled out for its poor record.
