Fan stable after medical emergency at Oxford

Oxford United say the supporter who was treated for a medical emergency during Saturday's defeat by Portsmouth is in a stable condition in hospital.

The unnamed fan, who was sitting in the North Stand at the Kassam Stadium, suffered a cardiac arrest during the first half of the Championship match.

The game was stopped for 30 minutes as medics provided treatment.

"The club would like to place on record our thanks to the onsite medical team from St John Ambulance and South Central Ambulance Service, Thames Valley Police, stadium stewards, and off duty paramedics who arrived on the scene within 30 seconds," Oxford said in a statement on their website.

"CPR was administered and the person concerned was eventually resuscitated, before being taken to hospital.

"We would also like to thank the supporters in the area for the part they played, as well as the on-pitch referee team for taking the players off the pitch during this time."
