PREMIER LEAGUE goal celebrations are BACK!
From Cole Palmer’s ‘ice cold’ pose to Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘Siu’, SunSport takes a look at how the greatest stars of 2024-25 will celebrate this season.
With cameras set up at every club’s training base, Prem stars jumped at the chance show off their signature moves to TNT Sport.
And Jamie Vardy’s Prem promotion means fans can expect a range of cheeky gimmicks and taunts this term.
The Leicester striker, 37, lived up to his name and performed a Kylian Mbappe-esque ‘cry face’ before shushing the camera lens.
Vardy has developed a reputation for his ‘wind-up’ celebrations after flapping his arms like an eagle in front of Crystal Palace fans in 2019 and bowing to West Ham supporters as they piled abuse at him in 2021.

Changes to the Premier League for 2024/25
NOTHING stays the same forever.
And that includes the Premier League, which is making a number of tweaks this season.
Team news will now be released 75 MINUTES before kick-off, 15 minutes earlier than had been the case before.
Things could get crowded on the touchline, with the number of substitutes permitted to warm-up boosted from three players per team to FIVE.
There’s also a change to how added time is calculated when a team scores a goal, an update to the ‘multiball’ system and the introduction of semi-automated offsides – but not straight away.
