Medical emergency involving fan at St James' Park causes Newcastle vs Tottenham game to be stopped

Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League clash on Sunday was suspended following a medical emergency involving a fan just before half-time at St James' Park.

Play was brought to a pause with the interval in sight by referee Andre Marriner after players flagged his attention to an incident in the stands and brought the match to a halt, with paramedics and staff from both teams in attendance at the scene.

The Magpies had initially taken the lead inside the first three minutes through Callum Wilson, before goals for Tanguy Ndombele and Harry Kane wrestled momentum back towards the visitors.
