Referee Robert Jones explained to Brentford and Tottenham staff why kick-off had to be delayed
Kick-off in Brentford's opening Premier League game of the season against Tottenham Hotspur was delayed by six minutes because of a water supply issue at Gtech Community Stadium.
The game was scheduled to begin at 14:00 BST and the players and officials were on the pitch ready to start.
