Leeds v Arsenal clash suspended due to technical issues following power cut

The
game
had
only
been
under
way
for
a
couple
of
minutes
when
referee
Chris
Kavanagh
brought
it
to
a
halt,
having
lost
contact
with
the
VAR
and
also
being
unable
to
use
goal-line
technology.

Following
a
lengthy
spell
on
the
field
attempting
to
keep
warm,
both
sets
of
players
were
told
to
return
to
the
dressing
rooms
by
referee
Kavanagh.

Leeds
tweeted:
“The
game
is
temporarily
suspended,
after
a
power
cut
causes
issues
with
the
referee’s
communications
systems.”

Arsenal
arrived
in
Yorkshire
looking
for
a
seventh
consecutive
win
in
all
competitions
to
go
four
points
clear
ahead
of
second-placed
Manchester
City’s
trip
to
Liverpool
later
in
the
day.
