Watford's Premier League match at home to Norwich was stopped for over 10 minutes after a floodlight failure at Vicarage Road.
Watford were trailing 1-0 to Josh Sergent's audacious flicked goal when some of the lights went out in the second half.
Even though the pitch was still lit up by the floodlights which were still working, referee Mike Dean stopped the match.
Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher criticised the move to halt the game, arguing that many stadiums in Europe are not as well lit as in England and matches continue regardless.
