Arsenal's Lotte Wubben-Moy's touching gesture for travelling fans after match postponement

Arsenal's Lotte Wubben-Moy made a heartwarming gesture for travelling fans in Brighton this evening after their match got called off with just over two hours to go.

The decision to postpone the fixture comes after a pitch inspection was held at 2:30pm and is the third time this season that matches held at Brighton Women's home ground have fallen victim to adverse weather.

Travelling fans were given a nice surprise in one of the local pubs however after Wubben-Moy left money behind the bar for them to have a good time following the bad news.

Lotte tweeted: "To anyone at the New Moon Pub in Crawley … @ArsenalWomenSC, I have put some money behind the bar for you all.

"Get a cranberry juice and crisps on me. Enjoy the men’s game. Sorry about our postponed game. Changes need to be made. They will be made. In the meantime, stay hydrated."

The postponement was the third WSL match to be called off over a particularly frigid weekend. Tottenham Hotspur's home clash at Brisbane Road against relegation-threatened Leicester City on Sunday was called off on Saturday due to a frozen pitch, marking the second time this season Spurs have had to abandon a match because of surface conditions.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's early Sunday clash with Liverpool was abandoned just six minutes into the match after it was adjudged the playing surface was not fit for purpose and put players' safety in jeopardy.

Arsenal Women return to action on Thursday with a FA WSL Cup fourth-round clash against fellow WSL side Aston Villa, before taking on Leeds Ladies in the fourth round of the FA Women's Cup on Sunday.
