A non-league football match was suspended for more than an hour after the visiting goalkeeper suffered a serious injury during play.

Warren Burwood was in goal for Lowestoft Town at AFC Telford United’s ground in Wellington, Shropshire, when he clashed with an opposing player at about 15:35 BST.

Play was suspended in the Southern League Premier Central match, as the player was unable to be moved pending medical treatment.

AFC Telford United officials told BBC Radio Shropshire that Burwood had been knocked unconscious but later came round and had made a video call to family members.

Two ambulances were called to Telford’s Seah stadium, where crews administered treatment to the player behind medical screens erected by club staff.

He was moved from the pitch more than an hour after suffering his injury.

BBC commentator Scott Harris said the clubs were both committed to continuing the match, despite the lengthy suspension of play.

The game eventually ended just after 18:15, with Telford winning 7-1.
