The ref accidentally collided with Jordan Ayew, falling to the ground. Therefore, Vardy decided to take matters into his own hands and react as a referee this time. He found Webb's whistle and blew on it to stop the match around the 30th-minute mark.
He made sure the 49-year-old official was feeling better before leaving him to the medics who had run onto the pitch. The game was halted for five minutes while Webb received treatment. After failing a concussion test, he was replaced by fourth official Sam Barrott.
Almost instantly, fans took to social media to comment on the thing, as it triggered a massive reaction from the crowd around the world.
