Vardy Hits Milestone: A Double Against Cagliari Lights Up Serie A
9 January 2026
Vardy's Record Night for Cremonese
In a Serie A clash between Cremonese and Cagliari, English striker Jamie Vardy delivered a standout performance, helping his side earn a 2-2 draw in round 19.
Vardy opened the scoring and added a second, continuing his strong form since arriving in Italy in the summer. The 37-year-old forward is proving that a late-career renaissance is possible when you still have a nose for goal and reliable boots.
Milestone Feats and Recognition
Opta notes this goal marked his 150th across the five major European leagues, with 116 coming after he turned 30. Since January 2017, among players with a similar tally, only Cristiano Ronaldo has more.
Earlier in November, Vardy was named Serie A Player of the Month for his contributions with Cremonese.
The match also featured a promotional banner from STC TV as football media dives deeper into streaming partnerships.
For Cremonese, the English marksman’s goals underscore the team's current trajectory and their appeal to proven scorers in Italy.
Vardy's brace helped salvage a point in a tense contest, reinforcing the sense that Cremonese is turning heads in Serie A this season.
In summary, the veteran striker continues to deliver in Italy, and the numbers back up the optimism around his continued impact.
Punchline: If goals were a video game, Vardy just unlocked the "Ronaldo Shadow" achievement—tonight the legend found himself a step behind the old rival. Punchline 2: The defenders tried to stop him, but the scoreboard did the shouting anyway.
