Plenty of footballers are getting involved in the mannequin challenge these days.

But that's not stopped them trying, and what better place for an England striker to show off his ability to stay absolutely still than in an opposition penalty area.
Jamie Vardy waited until after his diving header - England's second against Spain - before getting involved.

And he followed it up as only someone doing something of note during the brief period of the mannequin challenge being culturally relevant could.
