Leicester vs Chelsea delayed as officials swap roles after rare incident
Today at 08:57 AM
The second half in Chelsea’s clash against Leicester City was delayed due to two officials being forced to change their roles.
Nick Hopton and Mark Scholes began the game running the lines at the King Power Stadium, with Andy Madley the man in the middle and Leigh Doughty operating as the fourth official.
However, there was a slight change to the refereeing line-up once the officials and teams emerged for the second half.
“Lee Doughty running the line over on the far side, the fourth official,” talkSPORT commentator Sam Matterface said.
“A change because of an injury to Mark Scholes. Getting ready to run the line in the Premier League.
“Not something he is used to doing so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.”
