Jamie Vardy scores big goal in second half to take Leicester City on level terms against Tottenham Hotspurs. The recently promoted Leicester City in their opening PL game played against Tottenham and managed to draw against them following their one year absence from the Premier League.
37-year old striker Jamie Vardy is still going strong as he as hit the latter stage of his career. To make matters worse for Spurs fans, Vardy while celebrating took to mock them by pointing out how Leicester City has a Premier League title but the Spurs don't.
Tottenham Lost Composure In Second Half
Ange Postecoglou admitted that Tottenham lost their composure during the second half which led to Vardy equalizing and taking Leicester City on level terms. During the first half, Tottenham had gone ahead after Pedro Porro gave Spurs the lead at The King Power Stadium.
Tottenham also had some costly misses which came back to haunt them in the second half as Jamie Vardy equalized.
“Disappointing night for us. First half excellent and controlled the game but wasteful in front of goal. Once Leicester scored, the crowd lifted and we lost our composure. It was an issue we had last year as well. We need to keep working hard and be a bit more ruthless in front of goal. At times we made poor decisions. The dominance is great but if you don’t score it is meaningless. We have to be stronger in our mindset in the front third. To be that wasteful is disappointing. We just weren’t clinical,” said Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou during the post-match interview.
Social Media Viral With Jamie Vardy Antics
37-year old English striker Jamie Vardy has a knack for entertaining fans on the football pitch but not with just his football but also due to his antics. During the match against Spurs, Vardy scored the second half equalizer to take Leicester level.
He then trolled Spurs fans by hitting up the 1-0 sign showcasing that Leicester have a Premier League trophy while Tottenham don't. He also took to asking Spurs player Cristian Romero to ‘fu*k off'. All of these antics have once again left social media ablaze with Jamie Vardy and Tottenham trolls.
