Portsmouth clash with Middlesbrough delayed due to medical incident

Medical staff were in attendance to treat a supporter in the lower North Stand, as the match was stopped seconds after kick-off.

Pompey players signalled to officials a fan was in need of urgent treatment, with it apparent CPR was then being administered.

After a short pause, referee Gavin Ward took the players off the pitch as treatment was administered.

A PA announcement asked for patience from supporters as the incident was dealt with - an address received with warm applause.

The match resumed at 3.35pm after the individual was taken to a waiting ambulance.
