Parts of Wolverhampton including sections of Molineux were left without electricity after a power cut - with the lights in the football stadium cutting out as Wolves clash with Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Floodlights at Molineux flickered off in the first few minutes of tonight's FA Cup replay, preventing Wolves star Adama Traore from crossing the ball.

It came as National Grid warned parts of the city – and Walsall – were affected by a power cut.

A spokesman for the company said: "Apologies, we are aware of a fault affecting #Walsall #Wolverhampton and are estimating to have the power restored by 8pm.

"We are currently fault switching to try and restore you sooner so you may see some brief interruptions whilst we carry this out."
