Sky Sports’ coverage of live Carabao Cup tie cuts out mid-match forcing broadcaster to issue apology
SKY SPORTS were forced to apologise after Aston Villa’s Carabao Cup game against Wycombe cut off.
The feed momentarily cut away just after the half-time break with the match level at 0-0.
Initially, the screen turned green before a message came up and read: “We’re really sorry for this temporary fault.”
Commentators also apologised for the technical error – which was not fully explained.
Fans joked even Sky were so bored of the goalless draw they decided to pack it in.
One said: “Even Sky have given up on Villa’s performance tonight, they’ve pulled the plug.”
Another added: “Sky took the Villa game off tv due to how boring we’ve been.”
One joked: “Villa playing so badly tonight they’ve broken Sky.”
Another said: “Villa playing so s*** Sky just couldn’t be a***d.”
Villa fans did soon have something to smile about as Emi Buendia opened the scoring on the hour mark.

In-form Jhon Duran then made it 2-0 to wrap up the game with an 85th minute strike despite Richard Kone’s late consolation for Wycombe.
That makes it five straight wins for Unai Emery’s side in all competitions.
