The referee goes off the pitch and down the tunnel for a concussion check. Both sets of players are in shock and do not know what to do! I have never seen anything like this before.

OH MY, THAT IS AWFUL! The referee David Webb goes down after Ayew collides with him in the middle of the pitch! It was accidental but the referee seems to be in some pain and is receiving some treatment.

CHANCE FOR SOUTHAMPTON! The away side win a corner which is whipped into the path of Harwood-Bellis, but the defender sees his header firmly held by Stolarczyk. That was a good opportunity for Harwood-Bellis, who was unmarked in the Leicester penalty area.
