Power failure delays Stoke v West Ham

London - Stoke's Premier League clash with West Ham was delayed on Saturday after a "major power outage" at the bet365 Stadium.

Mark Hughes' side were scheduled to kick off against the Hammers at 17:00 (SA time), but with less than half an hour to go before the match, it was announced the start would be delayed.

Parts of the stadium were plunged into darkness, while fans were forced to remain outside while the problem was addressed.

Stoke announce the game would start at 16:00 (18:00 SA time).

UPDATE: This afternoon's game with @WestHamUtd will kick-off at 4pm#SCFC ???? https://t.co/cgHzcleTZr
