Two Arrests Made After FA Cup Match Between Haringey and Yeovil Abandoned Due to Racist Abuse

Two men have been arrested after incidents of alleged racist abuse led to an FA Cup match between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town being abandoned on Saturday afternoon.

The fourth qualifying round match at the home of the Isthmian League Premier Division side was tainted by reports of racially charged incidents involving home goalkeeper Valery Pajetat and teammate Coby Rowe.

Projectiles were reported to have been thrown at the keeper, who also reported being spat at, while Rowe was reportedly subjected to vile racist abuse from the stands. In the 64th minute, home manager Tom Loizou decided enough was enough, and pulled his players off the pitch.
