at Elland Road

THERE were farcical scenes at Elland Road yesterday prior to Arsenal’s dogged 1-0 win over Leeds, when the match was suspended for 40 minutes after only 23 seconds play due to a power cut. 

Supporters in a season’s best attendance of 36,700 looked on in bewilderment and frustration following referee Chris Kavanagh halting proceedings after losing contact with VAR at Stockley Park.

The incident was hugely embarrassing for the relevant authorities and symptomatic of a wider malaise under this malfunctioning Tory government.
