Replay for FA Cup game stopped by racism

An FA Cup match between English non-league clubs Haringey and Yeovil abandoned at the weekend following alleged racist abuse is to be replayed next week, the English Football Association has announced.

Saturday's fourth qualifying round match at Haringey's Coles Park ground saw the players walk off in the 64th minute, shortly after Yeovil had gone 1-0 up via a penalty.

As well as Haringey defender Coby Rowe receiving racist abuse from the crowd, the club's goalkeeper Douglas Pajetat was spat on and had a bottle thrown at him.

On Monday morning two men were arrested in connection with the matter.

It is thought that the incident was the first time a match at such a senior level has been abandoned due to racism.
