Man Utd conflict halted as fireplace alarm at Stockley Park leaves sport with out VAR

Manchester United’s clash with Ipswich was briefly halted due to the absence of VAR.

Bruno Fernandes and Sam Morsy were called over for chat with Anthony Taylor who informed the pair there had been a fire alarm at Stockley Park – which would leave the game without any VAR. The game was briefly stopped before resuming without VAR.

Amazingly, Ipswich, who had fallen behind after 81 seconds, were able to find the net before VAR was back up and running. Omari Hutchinson left United shot-stopper Andre Onana with little chance as he curled the ball into the net.

Premier League Match Centre tweeted: “The match will be operating without VAR until further notice due to a fire alarm at the VAR Hub at Stockley Park.” Before following it up a few minutes later: “VAR is now back up and running.”
