The Everton vs Chelsea game was suspended with just minutes remaining after police ran onto the pitch to alert club doctors of a fan in need of medical attention in the crowd.
Officials paused the game for three minutes while officials tended to the supporter. The match also saw Everton players Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina forced off injured.
Ten additional minutes were added on at the end of the game to account for the stoppages.
The news comes just months after Chelsea's game with Leeds in March was brought to a halt after a fan suffered a medical emergency in the crowd. The fan received medical attention from officials in attendance and was later confirmed to be in a stable condition.
