The FA Cup match between Haringey and Yeovil that was abandoned following alleged racist abuse is to be replayed next week.

Saturday's fourth qualifying round match at Haringey's Coles Park ground saw the players walk off in the 64th minute, shortly after Yeovil had gone 1-0 up via a penalty.

Haringey said the match had been abandoned due to racist abuse and their defender Coby Rowe wrote on his social media account that he had been a victim.

The FA said in a statement on Monday: "Following the abandonment of the Emirates FA Cup fourth round qualifying fixture between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town, the FA Challenge Cup Committee has made the decision for the original fixture to be replayed on Tuesday 29 October at Haringey Borough FC.

"In the event that a replay is required this shall be played on Tuesday 5 November."
