Brentford v Tottenham: Water supply issue causes kick-off to be delayed

Related Topics: Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford

Kick-off in Brentford's opening Premier League game of the season against Tottenham Hotspur was delayed by six minutes because of a water supply issue at Gtech Community Stadium.

The game was scheduled to begin at 14:00 BST and the players and officials were on the pitch ready to start.

However they were made to wait and the game eventually began at 14:06 BST.

It was the second time this weekend that kick-off in a Premier League game was delayed, after a ticketing issue caused Arsenal's game with Nottingham Forest on Saturday to be pushed back 30 minutes.
