Vardy Makes First Serie A Start as Cremonese Draw 1-1 With Udinese

Davide Nicola reshaped his side after the Inter defeat to accelerate the striker’s integration.

Overview

Filippo Terracciano headed in after four minutes from Jari Vandeputte’s free-kick, his second goal of the season.
Nicolò Zaniolo equalised five minutes into the second half, finishing Alessandro Zanoli’s cross at the back post.
Jamie Vardy earned a late free-kick on the edge of the area, and Franco Vázquez clipped the outside of the post from the set piece.
In stoppage time, Vardy cut inside onto a Jeremy Sarmiento pass but his shot deflected off Christian Kabasele for a corner.
After a 4-1 loss to Inter, Nicola made six changes—bringing in Vardy and Federico Bonazzoli—while Udinese altered three starters, and the draw keeps both sides around mid-table.
