Newcastle's match against Tottenham is suspended as medics rush to assist stricken supporter in the crowd... after Sergio Reguilon had urged referee Andre Marriner to halt play and Eric Dier raced to the dugouts to collect defibrillator.

Newcastle's Premier League fixture against Tottenham has been suspended following a medical emergency involving a fan in the crowd.

The match was stopped in the 40th minute after the players called for the medics to assist someone in the crowd, with fans also pleading for them to hurry over to the far side of the stand.

Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon urged referee Andre Marriner to halt play, while team-mate Eric Dier sprinted to the Newcastle dug-out calling and gesturing for a defibrillator.
Newcastle club doctor Paul Catterson soon after rushed across to help, handing a defibrillator to a steward in the stand.



Seven minutes of additional time was added on but the game was not allowed to restart before the break, with the players taken off for half-time by referee Marriner.

Spurs were leading 2-1 in the fixture before the stoppage, with Tanguy Ndombele and Harry Kane scoring for the visitors after Callum Wilson gave the hosts a second-minute lead.
