Newcastle’s home game against Tottenham was halted after a fan was believed to have suffered a suspected heart attack.

Spurs star Eric Dier ran over to the dugout to ask for a medical staffer to bring a defibrillator onto the pitch.

The England centre-half had been alerted to the incident by team-mate Sergio Reguilon.

The players were then told to go to the sidelines.

The incident happened two minutes before half-time, with Tottenham 2-1 up at St James’s Park.

Players were then told to return to the changing room as treatment was being administered.

The crowd and players reacted swiftly to call for medical attention, and the referee Andre Marriner soon realised it was a medical emergency.
