Luton's Lockyer suffers cardiac arrest before match abandoned; City drop points

MANCHESTER, England : Saturday's Premier League action was overshadowed by the collapse of Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer who suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch at Bournemouth.

Luton later said that Lockyer was "stable and currently undergoing further tests" after being taken off on a stretcher.
