What Jamie Vardy did to mock Tottenham right after scoring in shock 2-1 win for Leicester City
Yesterday at 11:10 AM
Jamie Vardy punished Tottenham Hotspur once again by scoring the opener in Leicester City’s latest 2-1 victory.
When Tottenham drew 1-1 against Leicester in August, Jamie Vardy scored a 57th-minute equaliser to punish Spurs.
Just a minute into the second half, Ange Postecoglou’s side threw away their 1-0 lead given to them by Richarlison after Ben Davies and Antonin Kinsky struggled to clear their lines — as the ball fell into the Englishman’s path who tapped it into an empty net.
Just four minutes later, Bilal El Khannouss fired Leicester into the lead with a stunning finish from outside the box.
Less than two weeks ago, sources told TBR Football that Ange Postecoglou’s job was safe at Tottenham.
But it looks increasingly unlikely that Daniel Levy’s patience will remain patient if results do not around quickly, with some Tottenham players questioning Postecoglou’s tactics behind the scenes.
Jamie Vardy points at Premier League badge to mock Tottenham vs Leicester City
The mood at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would have been one of unbridled frustration as the Foxes entered the contest in 19th place.
After how Vardy reacted to scoring his 143rd goal in the Premier League, Spurs fans would have been even more livid.
The Leicester legend pointed to his Premier League winner’s badge in front of the Tottenham supporters after scoring the equaliser for the visitors.
Vardy threw up the number zero, reminding the Spurs faithful that have yet to win a Premier League title.
In 2019, the former Fleetwood Town striker poked fun in a similar manner after scoring for Leicester against Crystal Palace by doing an ‘eagle celebration.’
During the reverse fixture as well, Vardy made the same gesture.
What Tottenham fans were heard chanting during loss vs Leicester City
Tottenham fans will be left divided about whether Ange Postecoglou is the right man as losing to a Leicester side who seem dead set to get relegated is a massive worry.
Especially considering the Lilywhites lost at home and deservedly so.
During the clash, Tottenham fans were heard chanting, “[Daniel] Levy Out.”
Journalist Matt Law wrote on X: “That’s the loudest ‘Levy Out’ chanting I’ve ever heard inside the Tottenham stadium.”
Vardy’s antics will further create discourse around Spurs’ chronic failure as a club.
