Liverpool match with Crystal Palace delayed due to medical emergency

There were concerning scenes at Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace’s match against Liverpool facing a lengthy delay.

There were just 12 minutes on the clock when players became concerned by an apparent medical emergency in the crowd.

Liverpool, who were a goal down, had just been awarded a free-kick on the edge of the Palace area.

Yet before Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai could get going, they and their teammates became concerned by something seemingly happening opposite the dugouts.
