The start of the match between Everton and Ipswich Town was delayed due to technical issues.
Originally, the game was scheduled to begin at 16:00, but at 15:50, the home team announced that the start would be pushed to 16:15. The delay was caused by unresolved issues with the stadium's turnstiles, which fans were informed about.
Ipswich's official social media channels also reported that the team was working on fixing the problems preventing fans from entering the stadium.
After the announcement, Everton's players, who had already gone down the tunnel, returned to the pitch to continue their warm-up.
The Premier League later confirmed that the reason for the delay was problems with the turnstiles at Portman Road Stadium.
