Arsenal cup match at Fleetwood Town paused due to drone
A flying object caused a stoppage of just less than 10 minutes during the Gunners' visit to Fleetwood Town.
Arsenal's Carabao Cup match against Fleetwood Town was interrupted for less than ten minutes due to a drone hovering above the pitch at the Highbury Stadium in northwest England. The delay occurred just two minutes into the game, as referee Michael Salisbury stopped the action to consult with both teams, coaching staff, police, and organizers.
After a brief five-minute warm-up, the referee called the captains to explain the reason behind the interruption. The drone was eventually located, and play resumed with a free kick where an Arsenal player had been fouled eight minutes earlier.
