Jamie Vardy proves he’s the ultimate wind-up merchant with gesture to Spurs fans after scoring

Jamie Vardy kept up his reputation as the biggest wind-up merchant in the history of the Premier League by goading Spurs fans after scoring on Sunday.

Vardy levelled matters straight after half-time, cancelling out Richarlison's opener for Ange Postecoglou's side.

Only four minutes later and the Foxes were in the lead when Bilal El Khanouss fired home from outside the area.

Vardy's strike was his 45th against so-called 'Big Six' sides in the Premier League, 10 of which have come against Spurs.

The North London outfit are one of Vardy's favourite opponents and he made sure to troll Spurs supporters as soon as he found the net.

After racing away to the away fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he quickly pointed to the Premier League badge on his sleeve - making a number one gesture to reference lifting the title in the 2015/16 fairytale season under Claudio Ranieri.

After that, the 38-year-old quickly made a zero sign to remind Spurs fans that they have never won the Premier League.

Vardy played 75 minutes in the crucial away win and was loudly booed by the home fans when he left the pitch to be replaced by Patson Daka.

It's not the first time that the former Fleetwood Town striker has rinsed Spurs about their failure to win the Premier League. He did just that in Leicester's first game of the season in August, telling defender Cristiano Romero "F*** off" and then making the Premier League title jibe as he left the field of play after scoring an equaliser.

He's aimed plenty of digs in the past, including telling Spurs they "had no bottle" at a festival in 2023.

Having hit 20 goals in 37 games as Leicester won the Championship last season, Vardy has shown his sharpness in front of goal yet again in the Premier League, finding the net eight times this term.

His contract is due to expire in the summer and reports at the back-end of 2024 claimed Vardy is to decide between retiring from football and continuining playing in the Saudi Pro League or Qatari Stars League.
