The Premier League match between Aston Villa and Wolves was briefly halted to allow players to break their Ramadan fast, known as Iftar. During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours, making Iftar a significant moment for those observing the fast.

Villa’s Moussa Diaby, who had scored earlier in the match, and Wolves’ Rayan Ait-Nouri were among the players given time to consume food and drink. Diaby was seen drinking a beverage likely filled with electrolytes and eating a banana before play resumed. The pause for Iftar seemed to have a positive impact on Diaby, as shortly after play resumed, he set up Ezri Konsa for a goal, extending Villa’s lead to 2-0. This wasn’t the first time a Premier League game was paused for Iftar, as a similar break occurred during a match between Burnley and Southampton in 2022.

The match between Villa and Wolves was halted for a second time later in the game, this time due to an assistant referee needing new batteries for his radio. Despite the delays, Villa managed to secure a comfortable 2-0 victory over Wolves.
