Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup third-round tie between AFC Wimbledon and Newcastle has been postponed due to extensive flooding that caused what looked like a sinkhole to open up on the pitch at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

Newcastle's Carabao Cup third-round tie with AFC Wimbledon has been rescheduled with the Dons' Plough Lane pitch deemed unplayable.

Newcastle United's League Cup third round match against fourth-tier AFC Wimbledon has been moved to St James' Park and rescheduled to Oct. 1, the Premier League club said on Monday.
