Sunday’s Premier League clash between Leeds United and leaders Arsenal was temporarily suspended soon after it started due to technical issues following a power cut at Elland Road.
The game had only been under way for a couple of minutes when referee Chris Kavanagh brought it to a halt, having lost contact with the VAR and also being unable to use goal-line technology.
Following a lengthy spell on the field attempting to keep warm, both sets of players were told to return to the dressing rooms by referee Kavanagh.
Leeds tweeted: “The game is temporarily suspended, after a power cut causes issues with the referee’s communications systems.”
Play in Yorkshire resumed around 30 minutes later, with Arsenal looking for a seventh consecutive win in all competitions to go four points clear ahead of second-placed Manchester City’s trip to Liverpool later in the day.
