Southampton and Aston Villa players were forced to leave the St Mary's pitch after a drone was flown overhead.
The drone was spotted hovering above the Chapel End, prompting a security call to be made over the stadium's announcement system. "Due to a drone flying above the stadium, the decision has been made to take the players off the pitch," it said.
Referee Michael Salisbury stopped the game and spoke to the captains of both sides before everyone was asked to leave the pitch for safety reasons.
