A fan is said to have suffered a medical emergency at St. Mary's during the clash between Southampton and Leicester.

The beginning of the second-half was delayed after a supporter collapsed in the stadium.

Amazon Prime, who were covering the game, announced the news live on air as the half-time interval was taking place.

Football commentator Jim Proudfoot, who was at St. Mary's, tweeted: "Thoughts with the Southampton fan who’s taken ill here. They do appear to be conscious - hopefully not as bad as it initially appeared."

"Thank you to the medical staff, players and fans for their quick response."
