Friday night’s Premier League clash between Watford and Norwich was plunged into chaos when the floodlights failed.
The floodlights in each corner of Vicarage Road began to dim and referee Mike Dean deemed it was unsafe to continue – even though visibility was not interrupted.
The delay lasted ten minutes before Dean consulted the two managers and captains and asked if they were happy to continue, which they were.
The game also produced one of the goals of the season when Norwich ace Josh Sargent flicked the ball with his heel goalwards and magically hit the net - before doubling the Canaries’ lead after the floodlight chaos.
Meanwhile, Chelsea pair Ben Chilwell and Reece James shared a photo together of their rehabilitation.
The Blues full-backs were all smiles in the gym as they worked on getting back to full fitness.
The English duo’s Blues team-mate Antonio Rudiger could end up staying at Stamford Bridge - if the club manage to stump up £220,000-a-week to meet the defender's demands.
However, Thomas Tuchel’s side will have to move swiftly as the German’s contract is up in the summer and Man United are hot on his heels.
United’s rivals Man City look set to beat them in the transfer race for River Plate’s Argentina international forward Julian Alvarez.
Reports in South America suggest a deal is close between City and the striker who was previously linked with a move to Old Trafford.
