The match between Newcastle and Tottenham had to be interrupted in the 41st minute by a health problem of a fan in the stands at St. James Park who needed urgent medical assistance.
The London side’s side, the Spanish Sergio Reguilón, caught the attention of referee Andre Marriner while his teammate, center-back Eric Dier, went to the benches so that a member of the medical staff could come to attend to the fan.
One of the Newcastle doctors crossed the pitch with a defibrillator in hand to help the fan who was revived.
Newcastle warned of the situation on social media. “The game will be suspended until the medical emergency is resolved. In the meantime, we send our best wishes to that person and to those who are suffering on the other side, “he said.
Minutes later the meeting and once the setback was resolved, the meeting resumed. EFE (HN)
