Jamie Vardy sent off for 1st time in Leicester City career

Jamie Vardy abruptly shut down his party on Sunday.
After giving Leicester City a 1-0 lead at home to West Ham United with a superb goal in the 18th minute, Vardy was shown a second yellow card for diving in the early moments of the Premier League fixture's second half, resulting in the English forward's first red card since he joined the Foxes in 2012.
Vardy was brought down by Angelo Ogbonna inside West Ham's penalty area in the 56th minute, but referee Jon Moss deemed the contact wasn't enough to merit a penalty kick, and certainly not enough to justify the flying leap that followed.
Chants of "you're not fit to referee" subsequently echoed around King Power Stadium.
