Newcastle United?s Carabao Cup clash against AFC Wimbledon has been postponed after ?extensive overnight flooding? left sinkholes across the Plough Lane pitch.

Floods caused chaos across the capital on Monday morning with AFC Wimbledon’s home ground, renamed the Cherry Red Records Stadium in 2021 for sponsorship reasons, washed out after the overnight downpours.

The Dons’ home ground took a battering with videos on social media showing heavy flooding around the stadium blocking entrances.

Another clip showed extensive damage to the Plough Lane pitch with small sections of the playing surface giving way, left resembling a ‘mini golf course’.
Fresh pictures now show the full extent of the damage.

‘We regret to inform supporters that due to extensive overnight flooding of the River Wandle and surrounding areas, including at our Cherry Red Records Stadium, Tuesday night?s Carabao Cup third-round fixture against Newcastle United has been postponed,’ a statement from the League Two side said.

‘More information will follow in due course regarding fixture rearrangement.
