The game was suspended in the 65th minute
Luton Town's Premier League match at Bournemouth was abandoned after their captain Tom Lockyer collapsed on the pitch with the sides level at 1-1.
The players were taken off midway through the second half as Lockyer received medical treatment after collapsing off the ball.
Supporters sang Lockyer's name and the crowd at Vitality Stadium rose to their feet to applaud the 29-year-old as he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
Following confirmation that the fixture had been abandoned, the players and managers of both clubs returned to the pitch to applaud the supporters.
Dominic Solanke had equalised for Bournemouth before the hour mark - with what would have been his fifth goal in six league games - after Luton failed to clear a corner.
Elijah Adebayo, who had scored in Luton's previous two matches, had headed in Alfie Doughty's corner to give Luton the lead after three minutes.
Luton boss Rob Edwards was emotional as he led his players around the pitch following the abandonment.
The Premier League said in a statement: "Our thoughts are with Tom Lockyer and all players involved in today's match."
