WEST BROM’S clash with Middlesbrough was suspended for seven minutes as referee Rob Smith was taken away on a stretcher.
He received treatment while sat on the pitch as medics from both clubs tended to him.

He left via the nearest tunnel which leads not to the dressing rooms but outside the ground where the ambulances are usually on standby.
SunSport understands an ambulance was waiting for Smith to take him away.
The fourth official took over as his replacement, while a man from the stands came down to assume the role on the touchline.
