Leeds vs Arsenal suspended as teams sent back to dressing rooms due to power surge

Arsenal's trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United was suspended only minutes after kick-off as a power issue played havoc with the referee's communication system.

A reported 'power surge' at kick-off saw the issues arise, with play initially being halted before both sides were then sent back to the dressing rooms by official Chris Kavanagh.

The game was only a matter of seconds old with reports suggesting that the television feed, VAR, referee communications and even the lights at Elland Road were all affected. The lights did restore themselves almost instantly - although the same cannot quite be said of the rest of the in-game systems.
