Brentford vs Liverpool second half DELAYED after referee suffers injury and has to be replaced

REFEREE Simon Hooper had to be replaced after suffering an injury during Liverpool’s trip to Brentford.

Liverpool were trailing the Bees after Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade had put Brentford 2-1 up.

And after Milos Kerkez pulled one back on the stroke of half time, Brentford fans jeered Hooper for taking longer than expected to blow up for the interval.

Hooper then had to be withdrawn for the second half after struggling with an issue – as fourth official Tim Robinson replaced him.

Instead, Hooper swapped roles with Robinson and became fourth official for the rest of the game.
