The National League clash between Barnet and Southend was delayed due to the freak injuryRex

The official went down in the 32nd minute of play as referee Sam Mulhall temporarily stopped play.

This freak injury then caused a six-minute delay in proceedings.

Fourth official Constantine Hatzidakis eventually took over responsibility before the match was resumed.

Video footage captured by a fan at Barnet’s Hive London Stadium showed the official being wheeled off by the side of the pitch in a wheelchair.
