Luton captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest that forced the abandonment of his team's Premier League match at Bournemouth on Saturday as Manchester City threw away a 2-0 lead against Crystal Palace.
Luton's game on the south cost was halted midway through the second half with the score at 1-1 after defender Lockyer collapsed on the pitch.
The Wales international was removed from the field of play on a stretcher surrounded by a medical team to a standing ovation from the crowd.
The Premier League confirmed the match had been abandoned. "Our medical staff have confirmed that the Hatters captain suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch, but was responsive by the time he was taken off on the stretcher," Luton said in a statement. "He received further treatment inside the stadium, for which we once again thank the medical teams from both sides.
