Barnsley's League One game with Burton Albion was postponed shortly before kick-off on Saturday due to a medical emergency.

A fan appeared to be taken seriously ill by the side of the pitch at Oakwell, prompting the start of the match to be initially delayed.

An air ambulance then arrived as the severity of the situation became clear. It was later announced the match had been called off.
