A new season but it was the same old Jamie Vardy as the Leicester City forward kicked off the Foxes campaign by scoring the match-winning goal against Wolves.
It was a clever finish from the Englishman as he flicked the ball past Sa after Ricardo Pereira had fizzed a cross into the box from the right flank.
The celebration that followed the goal was even better as the 34-year-old charged toward the away Wolves fans at the King Power Stadium while howling at them.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the ultimate wind-up merchant’s tomfoolery against Wolves.
The King of epic trolling is back!

Day one – howling at the Wolves supporters. Superb. pic.twitter.com/oYyTlnB5H7
A brilliant goal
That Vardy goal was spectacular today. Has no right to get to the ball first & when he does it’s coming so fast at him that he has to react in a split second & just angle his foot to turn it on goal. True strikers finish that.
