England’s Jamie Vardy stole the show in his country’s two-all draw with Spain in an international friendly on Tuesday. The Leicester City forward doubled the Three Lions’ lead in the 48th minute after Adam Lallana had opened the scoring for the hosts. And the celebration was epic – the lethal forward appeared to be racing to the corner flag to celebrate the win, but then froze along the way together with his teammates in what is popularly known as the mannequin challenge.
Here's the viral celebration. Please note that this video is geo-restricted and may not be playable in some countries:
