Referee Andy Madley stopped the match to bring players to the dugouts to allow medical staff to get to the fan in distress.

The incident came shortly after Dejan Kulusevski had opened the scoring for Spurs in the 14th minute.

The goal came against the run of play after Sheffield United started the brighter of the two teams.

Sheffield United entered the game bottom of the Premier League table and already relegated.

Tottenham went on to win the clash 3-0.

The result meant Spurs beat rivals Chelsea to finish fifth in the league.

The Lilywhites' win confirmed their place in the Europa League.

Postecoglou experimented with his front three for the game, with Kulusevski playing centrally rather than Son Heung Min.

It seemed to work with Kulusevski bagging a second goal.

Pedro Porro was also on the scoresheet.
