Everton vs Chelsea match paused for 'medical emergency' at Goodison Park

Everton's Premier League clash with Chelsea was temporarily suspended as medical staff responded to a medical emergency in the Goodison Park stands.

Police officers entered the field of play in the closing stages of the second half, with both clubs' medical teams following swiftly after. A spectator is said to have been taken unwell with the referee stopping the game and allowing experts to give treatment. The match resumed after around five minutes, with Chelsea eventually leaving Merseyside with a 1-0 victory.

The incident in the 85th minute of play was the second lengthy stoppage during Chelsea’s narrow win on Merseyside.
