A drone caused the Premier League match between Brentford and Wolverhampton to be halted temporarily.
It occurred just after the half hour mark in the contest. It was 0-0 and a drone appeared in the Brentford Community Stadium, to the surprise of everyone present.
Both teams were forced to leave the pitch due to the drone for safety reasons.
The game had already been halted before that when Brentford teammates Mathias Jensen and Rico Henry clashed heads. Both were left with blood and both had to be replaced.
Both stoppages led to there being 19 minutes of added time plus another 7 for the earlier injury stoppage. That meant the first half lasted 71 minutes.
