Jamie Vardy's mannequin challenge celebration fooled TV broadcasters into thinking their England vs Spain feed had frozen

Jamie Vardy has revealed that his mannequin celebration for England fooled television broadcasters into thinking their feed of the game against Spain had stalled.

The Leicester striker struck a static pose after burying a header past Pepe Reina, followed by Raheem Sterling and Theo Walcott, and was told during post-match interviews that some people behind the camera lens believed a technical fault had hit.

Claudio Ranieri was watching from home and is convinced Vardy has returned from international duty a new player after ending his 14-game scoring drought.

Reflecting on his England celebration, Vardy said: 'The boys spoke about doing it and it didn't happen when Adam (Lallana) scored so I just thought I'd try my luck when I scored and everyone was doing it, including the bench.
