Newcastle's Premier League fixture against Tottenham has been suspended following an incident involving a fan in the crowd.

The match was stopped after the players called for the medics to assist someone in the crowd, with fans also pleading for them to hurry over to the far side of the stand.

Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon urged referee Andre Marriner to halt play, while team-mate Eric Dier sprinted to the Newcastle dug-out calling and gesturing for a defibrillator.

A Newcastle medic soon after rushed across to help the fan.

Seven minutes of additional time was added on but the game was not allowed to restart before the break as the players were taken off for half-time by referee Andre Marriner
