The Ataturk Stadium in Turkey looked more like a slow number at a stadium rock gig tonight after fans waved their mobile phones in the air during the black-out in the Europa League tie between Besiktas and Tottenham.
There were only eight minutes of play gone in the game, which was 0-0 at the time of the floodlight failure.
After a 15 minute delay, the match re-started.

Besiktas eventually won the game by 1-0, meaning they finish top of Group C at Spurs' expense.
