Players from both teams initially waited on the field.

But they then headed down the tunnel amid growing concern for a fan sat in the stands.

Medics rushed over to the supporter in worrying scenes.

There was a 14-minute delay in play before the players re-entered the pitch to finish the game.

Spurs released a statement on social media that read: “Our thoughts are with the individual receiving care.”

Brighton added: “Everyone at Albion sends their wishes.”

There is yet to be a further update on the fan’s condition.

But a reporter at the ground claimed the “medical emergency had been dealt with”.

The game finished 1-1 as Bethany England opened the scoring before Brighton’s Marisa Olislagers brilliantly equalised.

A point sees the Seagulls stay in fifth and Spurs are one place behind in sixth.
