Vardy makes Cremonese debut in draw with Verona

Vardy points the way for Cremonese during his debut against Verona

Forward Jamie Vardy made his debut for Cremonese on Monday night in a 0-0 draw at Verona.

The 38-year-old, who was introduced just before the hour mark, failed to make an impact on the score when he came on from the bench.

Newly-promoted to Italy's Serie A, Cremonese were looking to make it three wins in a row but were forced to settle for a point.

The former Leicester City Premier League title winner moved to the Italian top flight during the summer after 13 years with the Foxes.

Cremonese, who were promoted via the play-offs last season, have made a good start to life among the elite. They won 2-1 at AC Milan on the season's opening day and followed that with a 3-2 victory over Sassuolo.

After the game, former England international Vardy wrote on his X account: "A good hard-fought point away from home.

"I'm happy to have made my @USCremonese debut tonight and I'm looking forward to playing at home on Sunday."
