Fans have slammed Arsenal for successfully postponing Sunday's North London derby against Tottenham, with pundit Gary Neville also calling out the Premier League for letting it happen.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed on Friday that the Gunners had filed an application for the clash with bitter rivals Tottenham to be called off, and just after midday on Saturday the Premier League accepted the request.
Arsenal have at least a dozen players unavailable because of positive Covid cases, injuries, suspension and international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.

But Neville said the lack of transparency around Premier League clubs asking for matches to be postponed suggested many were now doing so for reasons other than the pandemic, which should not be allowed.
