Tottenham have been given a bye into the Carabao Cup fourth round after their tie with Leyton Orient was called off when a number of the League Two club's players tested positive for Covid-19.
Now this is setting a terrible precedent. What if West Ham, who had players tested positive during the week, have to cancel their Premier League game at the weekend? Do they have to forfeit that? I'm sure Aberdeen had a league game cancelled a few weeks ago and didn't receive such a punishment.
And I bet if it was Spurs who had cancelled, there would've been a different outcome to this situation.
