BURNLEY, England (Reuters) - The Premier League match between Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur at Turf Moor was called off less than an hour before kickoff due to heavy snowfall on Sunday.

"Due to concerns with the playing surface and surrounding areas, it’s been deemed that the game can’t go ahead safely," Burnley said on twitter.

"As you can see the pitch re-covers every time they clear it. The referee explained the safety angle as well so it was important to make a decision early," said Burnley manager Sean Dyche.
