Haringey Borough players abandoned their FA Cup qualifier against Yeovil Town because their players had allegedly been racially abused.

The hosts walked off the field in the 64th minute after Yeovil fans were accused of throwing objects and spitting at goalkeeper Valery Douglas Pajetat before aiming slurs at both the Cameroonian and team-mate Coby Rowe.

The incidents happened in the build-up to a Yeovil penalty, which Rhys Murphy converted, and its aftermath. Rowe had be restrained by security as Haringey’s players left the Coles Park pitch, while Yeovil’s captain went over to speak to his fans, as did the referee.

With Yeovil leading 1-0 in the fourth-round qualifier, Haringey took the decision while in the dressing room not to return to the pitch because players feared for their safety.

Haringey manager Tom Loizou told Talksport: “My goalkeeper was spat at and a bottle was thrown at him. A second bottle was thrown at him and just before that there was a few unsavoury words said to him.

“The referee halted the game. He saw the spit, he saw the bottle and then another missile came on to the pitch, which hit the goalkeeper. Then there was a bit of a delay. Coby Rowe, was racially abused. Players heard it.
