The Leicester City striker, Jamie Vardy, dashed across the field after scoring a goal to celebrate in front of the Bristol City supporters, reminiscent of Emmanuel Adebayor.
Vardy, at the age of 36, scored the solitary goal of the game, securing a 1-0 victory for the Foxes against their Championship rivals.
However, it was Vardy’s celebration that garnered significant attention from online fans.
Following his successful penalty, Vardy sprinted back down the pitch to celebrate in front of Bristol City’s travelling supporters, who had reportedly been taunting him about his wife, Rebekah, with chants like “Jamie Vardy, your wife is a grass.”
The former England international responded by cupping his hand to his ear and gesturing towards the name on the back of his jersey.
This moment drew comparisons to a similar incident involving Adebayor, who, at the age of 39, scored for Manchester City against his former club, Arsenal, at the Etihad Stadium in 2009.
The Togolese striker raced towards the Arsenal fans, sliding on his knees in celebration.
Fans on social media applauded Vardy’s “top-class s***housery” and made various comments, with some likening him to “Adebayor 2.0” and others appreciating his role as a football “villain.”
The three points secured by Leicester City were crucial for the former Premier League champions, as they now find themselves at the top of the Championship standings.
