Foxes talisman could not resist a dig at the travelling Spurs support after denying the visitors all three points in Premier League opener

A not fully-fit Vardy – who could be seen drinking a can of Red Bull as he walked out for the second half of the game – was eventually replaced by Stephy Mavididi with just over 10 minutes to play on Monday night, and he couldn’t resist aiming a parting jibe at the Spurs fans as he also appeared to have an angry exchange with Tottenham defender Cristian Romero as he headed off.

The veteran forward, a constant thorn in the side for Spurs over many years, pointed to the Premier League badge on his shirt sleeve and then made ‘one’ and ‘zero’ gestures with each of his hands, referencing the number of Leicester Premier League title wins to Tottenham’s.

Leicester memorably beat Tottenham to a fairytale title win in 2015/16, with Spurs eventually ending up third that season behind Arsenal.

Asked about his banter with the Spurs travelling fans after the game, Vardy told Sky Sports: “You take a bit of stick during the game. As long as they can take it when I give it back then it’s all good.”
