A Leeds United fan has died after falling ill at Elland Road before the club’s clash with Manchester United.
The supporter, who has not been named, passed away after a medical emergency ahead of kick-off at the stadium on Sunday.
A Leeds statement read: ‘Leeds United is devastated to confirm that a supporter sadly passed away following a medical emergency ahead of today’s game.
‘The thoughts of everyone at the club are with the family and friends of the supporter at this exceptionally difficult time.’
No further details have been released about the incident but the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw, started on time at 12:30pm.
Leeds went ahead in the second half through Brenden Aaronson before Matheus Cunha equalised three minutes later.
A medical emergency in the crowd delayed kick-off in Fulham’s home game against Liverpool later on Sunday afternoon.
