Arsenal fans have called for Jamie Vardy to be honored with a statue after his cheeky gesture towards Tottenham supporters during Leicester City’s return to Premier League football. Vardy, 37, headed in an equalizer against Spurs in the second half, just 12 minutes after being spotted drinking a can of Red Bull during the break.

When subbed off in the 79th minute, Vardy responded to jeers from Tottenham fans and Cristian Romero by pointing to the Premier League badge on his shirt and gesturing to indicate Leicester’s title win—reminding Spurs fans that their club has yet to win the Premier League. This sparked admiration from Arsenal supporters, who flooded social media with calls for a Vardy statue.

Despite limited training due to a pre-season injury, Vardy’s goal helped secure a vital point for Leicester in their first game back. Vardy later downplayed the incident, saying, “You take a bit of stick during the game, and that is a part of football.”
