The Sunday match in the „Premier“ league between the teams of „Newcastle“ and „Tottenham“ was stopped due to quite an unusual reason. About 40 minutes in, „Tottenham“ defender Sergio Reguilon behaved heroically when he drew the attention of the referees to the fact that someone in the St. James's Park stands was not feeling well. Another „Tottenham“ defender, Eric Dier, also contributed to this action. Referee Andre Marriner, noticing this, stopped the game for a while. Most likely, one of the football fans in the stands had a heart issue. Similar to Christian Eriksen during the European championship. Up to that point, in the match, „Tottenham“ was leading 2:1 against the „Newcastle United“ team. These were the first home matches for the hosts since the club was taken over by a Saudi Arabian company. Updated at 19.35: The football fan's condition has been stabilized, and they are currently on their way to the hospital.
Both teams have left the field following instruction from today's match officials. https://t.co/vPREcjxYFI
