Play suspended at EPL game due to drone hovering above field

Play was suspended in the first half of an English Premier League match between Brentford and Wolverhampton on Saturday because a drone was hovering above the field.

The players were taken off the field by the referee in the 34th minute with the score at 0-0.

The incident took place around the half-hour mark with the score 0-0 as the referee asked the players to head back to the changing rooms at the Brentford Community Stadium.

The players returned 19 minutes later for a short warm-up and the match resumed after the drone was taken down.

There had already been a long stoppage in play following a sickening clash of heads between Brentford teammates Mathias Jensen and Rico Henry, which left both bleeding heavily. They were both replaced by concussion substitutes.
