The Leicester City striker blows the referee's whistle to stop the match after the official collapses

In an unusual situation, Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy stopped his team's match against Southampton in the 35th round of the English Premier League after referee David Webb suffered an injury in the first half.

Leicester City won 2-0 at the King Power Stadium, with goals from Jamie Vardy and Jordan Ayew.

In the 21st minute of the match, David Webb fell to the ground after accidentally colliding with Leicester City striker Jordan Ayew.

As the referee's condition deteriorated, Vardy used the referee's whistle to temporarily stop the match to allow Webb treatment.

Both teams will be eliminated from the English Premier League at the end of the current season after being relegated to the Championship, along with Ipswich Town.

Vardy has announced his departure from Leicester City at the end of the current season after a distinguished 13-year career.
