Watford vs Chelsea suspended for 30 minutes due to fan suffering cardiac arrest in stands
Watford's game against Chelsea was temporarily suspended following a medical emergency in the crowd.
The game was paused in the ninth minute at Vicarage Road when medical staff from both teams raced across the pitch to deal with an emergency in the crowd.
Adam Masina was down receiving treatment when a fan from the upper Graham Taylor stand appeared to be taken ill.
Both sets of players returned to the changing rooms.
Watford confirmed that a fan had suffered a cardiac arrest, but had been stabilised.
The club wrote on Twitter: "The players have returned to the field in preparation of play resuming.
"Our thoughts are with the fan – who had a cardiac arrest but has now been stabilised – and all those affected.
"Thank you to the medical staff, players and fans for their quick response."
The game resumed at 8.15pm.
The game was still 0-0 at the time of the stoppage with Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel making six changes from his side's 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday as the Blues took on Watford.
Jorginho, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Hakim Ziyech dropped to the bench in place of Saul, Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic.
Reece James was not included in the matchday squad, with Kai Havertz, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta also named in the starting XI.
The Blues went on to win 2-1 with Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech scoring with Emmanuel Dennis getting the goal for Watford.
