Jamie Vardy still knows how to score in the Premier League. The 37-year-old veteran striker rescued a point for Leicester in its return to the Premier League on Monday by heading home a second-half equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Tottenham, which had largely dominated the first half.

Tottenham had plenty of opportunities to build a bigger lead but new signing Dominic Solanke was among those guilty of missing chances. But Vardy, who was key to Leicester’s stunning Premier League title win in 2016 and has remained with the club since then, was left unmarked to head home an equalizer.
Steve Cooper’s team suddenly looked a lot livelier and both teams had chances to win in a busy last half hour.
