CHELSEA’s Premier League match with Manchester United was temporarily stopped due to an unexpected kit violation.
Red Devils hitman was the guilty party in the second half of the showdown on Friday night.
The international returned to the pitch after the second-half interval wearing what appeared to be a fitness tracker.
His wearing of the device didn’t go unnoticed, with the referee Chris Kavanagh briefly halting the game and instructing Hojlund to remove it.
And the Dane couldn’t help but laugh as he made his way to the touchline to hand over the device.
The bizarre incident stunned footie fans, with one saying: “Hojlund really came on the pitch with an Apple Watch.”;;
Another said: “[He was] counting his steps.”;;
And another said: “Counting his steps cos (sic) he knows he won’t score.”;;
One remarked: “Bruv just wanted to get his steps in.”;;
United thought they’d taken the lead in the 16th minute thanks to a neat finish from .
But the defender’s strike was ruled out for a marginal offside. United fans were adamant that played Maguire on and that the goal should’ve stood.
And the Spain international rubbed salt into their wounds by breaking the deadlock in the 71st minute.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
