Exeter led Blackpool 2-1 at home during the first half at St James’ Park.

But in the closing stages before half-time, the referee halted play.

A supporter in the away end needed treatment.

So the officials took the players off briefly before bringing them back out to continue the match.

Exeter tweeted at 3.41pm: “38 | A break in play as a medical incident in the away end is being dealt with.”

They then added: “40 | We are back underway.”
