Fans left stunned by bizarre BT Sport error during Eintracht Frankfurt vs Chelsea

Chelsea drew 1-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday evening in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final but it wasn't just the action on the field which created a buzz on social media.

BT Sport have been known to be quite the forward thinking broadcaster and some may even say innovators, but a hilarious error during Chelsea's Europa League game had fans enjoying a spot of laughter.

The commentary of the game cut out due to some technical issues in the second half before the commentary of the Arsenal vs Valencia match, which was going on at the same time, was accidentally fed in whilst play continued in Germany.

It was quite a bizarre situation and something which had Chelsea fans in pieces. Then as BT Sport scrambled to get the commentary working, Glenn Hoddle and Owen Hargreaves proceeded to provide their own brand of live analysis whilst the game was going on.

You couldn't make it up and fans provided a mixture of opinion on Twitter in regards to the error. From those preferring the initial silence to those just similar mocking BT Sport, it's safe to say everyone had a little bit of fun with the issues the broadcaster had in Germany.
