Birmingham City’s Championship game against Leeds United at St Andrews was stopped for nine minutes on Saturday – after Wes Thomas’s 38th-minute goal goal broke the net.

Thomas, whose wife is currently in hospital awaiting the birth of their first child, dislodged the stanchion with his second goal of the season and it took the ground staff some time to remedy the problem, eventually replacing the broken stanchion with a new one.



Nine minutes of additional time were added on, with Birmingham maintaining their one-goal lead at the break.
