Newcastle's Premier League fixture against Tottenham had to be restarted after the game was 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.
