JAMIE VARDY is officially back doing what he does best… winding up opposition fans.
The Leicester hero came off the bench to score in the 2-0 victory against Burnley on Tuesday night after spending two months out with a hamstring injury.
Vardy was introduced alongside James Maddison in the 73rd minute and the pair combined to give the Foxes a valuable three points.
First of all he assisted Maddison for the opener on 82 minutes, before scoring himself in added time to make the points safe.
Then in the dying stages of the game Vardy took a tumble in front of the Burnley fans who had been giving him stick since his introduction.
And in typical Vardy fashion he responded by grinning and showing them the 0-2 scoreline with his hands.
Vardy then pulled out one of the oldest tricks in the book as his antics continued.
He hilariously wafted his hand in front of his nose to suggest the Burnley faithful smelled.

That was all after Vardy had shushed the home supporters by finding the back of the net.
Predictably fans on social media loved the cheeky gesture, with one writing: "Vardy shushing the Burnley fans. HE'S F***ING BACK!"
Another said: "Vardy s***housing the Burnley fans by saying 2-0 and saying they stink. Oh the King of Football Culture is back."
A third added: "Vardy showing 2 nil and telling the Burnley fans they stink might of been the best part."
Brendan Rodgers praised Vardy after he came on to change the game, with the Foxes boss hoping the striker can inspire a surge up the table.
The club are currently languishing in the bottom half of the Prem.
Rodgers told BBC Sport after the game: "We knew we had James [Maddison] and Jamie's quality to come on.
"James scored a brilliant goal and then you could see the confidence from it. Then Vardy was there and did what Vardy does best.
"He is a real catalyst for the team. You see his energy. He makes runs and presses and is normally in the right areas to score. He is a huge boost for us. To have that quality and mentality back in the team will help us."
