@harrymadrid🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Premier League officials lost radio communication for an entire half during Chelsea’s 4-3 win over Brighton. · Michael Oliver and his assistants were forced to abandon their communication headsets after crowd noise made the system unusable. · VAR Andrew Kitchen could no longer speak directly to Oliver, instead relying on messages sent to the referee’s watch while continuing radio contact with the fourth official. · The incident is believed to be the first time in around 20 years that a Premier League officiating team had to work without their normal radio system. #PremierLeague
