Premier League champion, FA Cup winner, Leicester City legend - and now, very fleetingly, the referee.

That was the role Jamie Vardy played when referee David Webb sank to the floor after being accidentally shoulder barged by Jordan Ayew in Leicester's 2-0 victory over Southampton at King Power Stadium.

As Webb clutched his face on the ground, Vardy took the opportunity to halt a Saints attack by blowing the stricken official's whistle.

"I saw Southampton breaking down the left and with the ref down I thought I'll blow his whistle to stop the game," Vardy said with a smile to BBC Match of the Day.
