Fulham’s London derby with Tottenham on Monday night was delayed due to travel chaos in the capital.
The Premier League and both clubs agreed to push the 8pm kick-off time back 15 minutes. The decision came with the District and Circle underground lines being suspended, causing difficulties for supporters of both clubs attempting to reach Craven Cottage.
The Hammersmith & City line and the Elizabeth line were also suspended. Signal failures were at the heart of the chaos. A brief statement from Fulham confirmed: “Tonight's kick-off has been delayed by 15 minutes due to local travel restrictions.” Spurs added: “Kick-off in tonight's Premier League fixture at Fulham has been delayed until 8.15pm due to transport issues.”
