Police have launched an investigation after two men snuck into Fulham’s ground and a mobile phone was taped to a broadcaster’s platform ahead of the club’s clash with Tottenham last week.
The revelation has put other Premier League clubs on alert, amid fears there may be an organised crime unit which is targeting top-flight stadia.
Suspicions were triggered over the presence of two suit-wearing men who got inside Craven Cottage.
CCTV footage was reviewed and it transpired that the phone had been attached to the underside of the table which was to be used by BT Sport, who televised the match.
