Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon has explained how his attention was caught by the medical emergency that led to his intervention to stop his side's Premier League clash with Newcastle on Sunday.
The Spurs left-back was the first player to signal to referee Andre Marriner to bring proceedings to a halt after an incident in the East Stand at St James' Park, which led to a temporary suspension.
Play eventually resumed in a match that saw Nuno Espirito Santo's visitors beat out Steve Bruce's Magpies 3-2, but speaking after the game, the Spaniard has now revealed how he came to be aware of the emergency.
"I saw the man lying down. I was very nervous. I went to the referee and said "look at this, we cannot play like this, we must stop the match"," Reguilon told Sky Sports News in his post-match comments.
"I look at the fans saying "stop, stop". I look over and I say "He's lying down, it's no good... please stop the game".
