Burnley supporters hit out at 'disgraceful' and 'absolutely disgusting' decision to call off game away to Aston Villa two hours before kick-off just days after the Clarets' fixture at home to Watford was postponed at short notice due to coronavirus cases

Burnley supporters were left livid after their team's game away to Aston Villa on Saturday was postponed just over two hours before kick-off.

A host of games in the Premier League have been unable to take place this weekend because of Covid-19 cases, and Villa couldn't participate in the fixture following positive test results in the squad overnight in addition to injuries and illness.

This is the second time this week that Burnley have had a game called off on the day of the game, with the same scenario having occurred on Wednesday, when they were due to face Watford at home.
