Jamie Vardy halts match after referee's injury during Leicester-Southampton clash

During Leicester City's Premier League match against Southampton, referee David Webb was injured after an accidental collision with Leicester's Jordan Ayew, prompting Jamie Vardy to intervene by grabbing the referee's whistle and stopping play. Webb, making his Premier League debut, was treated by medics and subsequently replaced by fourth official Sam Barrott after failing a concussion test. The incident led to a lengthy stoppage and 12 minutes of added time in the first half. Vardy's quick thinking was widely discussed among fans and commentators, with many noting the unusual nature of a player halting the match in this way. The match also marked a milestone for Vardy, who scored his 144th Premier League goal and is set to leave Leicester at the end of the season.
