Today’s Premier League match between Burnley and Tottenham has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions at Turf Moor.
The snow fell heavily overnight and on Sunday morning in Lancashire, with the undersoil heating at the ground subsequently unable to cope with the conditions.
Burnley’s ground staff tried in vain to clear the pitch and get the game on, but unfortunately there was no let-up from the elements.
The decision to call off the game was made around 45 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time of 2pm GMT, with Tottenham’s squad having already arrived, following a pitch inspection led by referee Peter Bankes and in conjunction with managers Sean Dyche and Antonio Conte.
The fixture will now have to be rescheduled, with the Premier League set to provide more information on possible new dates in due course.
