In the 17th round match of the English Premier League, Bournemouth hosted Luton Town at their home ground.

The match was halted in the 60th minute due to Luton defender Tom Lockyer losing consciousness right on the football field. Bournemouth attempted to start an attack with a long pass, while Lockyer intended to contest for the ball, but unexpectedly collapsed onto the pitch. Luton's manager rushed onto the field, asking the players to move aside so that the medics could assist their team captain.

The match was suspended, and both teams left the field. As of the 60th minute, the score was level at 1-1. It's noted that medical assistance is currently being provided to the player in the stadium's medical facilities.

It's worth noting that this is the second such incident in Lockyer's career. Earlier, he lost consciousness in May of this year during the playoff final for promotion to the Premier League. On that occasion, he was substituted, and shortly afterward, he underwent heart surgery.

The fate of the match is currently unknown.
