Vardy blew the whistle instead of the referee.

On the evening of May 3rd, Jamie Vardy made fans laugh with his humorous action of blowing the whistle himself to stop the game because the main referee was lying on the ground injured.

Vardy's funny gesture.

An unusual incident occurred in the 25th minute of Leicester City's match against Southampton at King Power Stadium in the 36th round of the Premier League. Referee David Webb was officiating his first game in England's top flight. However, he collided with Jordan Ayew and collapsed to the ground. Webb clutched his face and writhed in pain, but the game continued for a few seconds because no one blew the whistle.

Realizing the referee was unable to control the game, Jamie Vardy ran over, grabbed Webb's wrist, took the whistle, and blew a decisive blast to temporarily halt the match. This spontaneous and humorous moment made the audience at King Power Stadium burst into laughter, and went viral on social media.

"The Premier League will miss Vardy so much," "A truly Vardy-esque image from start to finish," "Vardy is a true Premier League legend," "Unbelievable to witness this"... these are some of the common reactions from the online community.

After a 12-minute interruption, Webb was taken for a concussion check and was unable to continue his duties. Fourth official Samuel Barrott was appointed as his replacement.

In this match, Vardy opened the scoring in the 17th minute after a well-executed combination with Bilal El Khannouss and Luke Thomas. This goal was the veteran striker's 199th for Leicester. In the 44th minute, Ayew sealed the 2-0 victory for the Foxes.

Both Leicester and Southampton have been relegated, so the match doesn't have much significance in terms of points. However, these are the final minutes that mark the end of Vardy's glorious journey with Leicester. He will be leaving the club after this season.
