Sheffield United and Aston Villa players made a remarkable statement in front of millions of TV viewers ahead of the first match of the restarted Premier League season.
As the players lined up and the referee blew his whistle to start the game, all 22 players on the pitch took the knee instead of beginning the game.
It was an unexpected and impactful move that went on for several seconds inside the empty stadium at Villa Park.
It comes in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests that have been held around the world in recent weeks following the death of George Floyd in America.
Players also had Black Lives Matter printed on the back of their shirts instead of their names.
