TNT Sports’ Champions League coverage hit an unexpected snag on Tuesday night, when Arsenal’s clash was briefly plunged into a commentary blackout.
About 15 minutes into the game, the voices of Sam Matterface and Martin Keown began to echo as they were describing the action - before cutting out completely.
An apology was issued on the screens of fans TVs while the broadcaster attempted to fix the problem.
After a few moments of awkward silence, the pundits in the studio were forced to step up and fill the void, with TNT’s Owen Hargreaves, Anita Asante and Laura Woods gamely taking the mic.
