Anything can happen in Premier League matches, although few expected the rivalry between Southampton and Aston Villa to have to be temporarily suspended due to a drone.
The match was proceeding as normal, however in the 41st minute the referee noticed that there was a drone flying over the Saint Mary’s Stadium pitch.
The Premier League’s protocol in these cases is straightforward and teams are forced to return to the locker room until the situation is under control. That’s exactly what the referee declared, so the game was temporarily suspended before the break.
After only a few minutes, the game can resume as normal once the situation is resolved.
