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, external: “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.”
