Fourth official Kevin Friend passed out and banged his head on the Dean Court dugout in the first-half of Bournemouth's Premier League clash with Southampton.

Both teams' medics quickly rushed to Friend's aid, with referee Mike Dean quickly blowing for time on the first-half, Bournemouth taking a 1-0 lead into the break of the Premier League clash on the south coast.

The start of the second-half was delayed by five minutes as the officials took stock, and Friend was taken to hospital after he was reported to have hit his head on one of the dugouts.
