Jamie Vardy’s return to Premier League football was a successful one for the striker as he found himself back on the scoresheet on the opening round of fixtures for 2024/25, netting in Leicester City’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur. The 37-year-old was a doubt for the game due to an injury he had suffered in pre-season, but after convincing Steve Cooper he was fit to play, the former England international made sure to have an impact.
