Jamie Vardy sends ‘special’ message to Leicester City fans, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi respond
Jamie Vardy continued to show that age is just a number as he headed home Leicester City’s first goal of the Premier League season to secure a 1-1 draw against Tottenham on Monday night.
Jamie Vardy had not featured in pre-season after he sustained an injury in Leicester City‘s first friendly of the summer against Villarreal.
That meant the Leicester talisman was expected to miss the Premier League opener against Tottenham, but Vardy gave his side a boost by declaring himself fit to play ahead of the game.
At 37, Vardy continues to defy the odds and lasted 79 minutes before being replaced by Stephy Mavididi.
Crucially, in that time he scored what proved to be the goal that rescued Leicester a point having survived a first-half onslaught only one goal down
That was Vardy’s 103rd Premier League goal since turning 30 – more than any other player – and he revelled in his return to the top flight.
