London: Tottenham's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest was set to go ahead as planned on Sunday despite police opening a murder investigation following a stabbing near the stadium.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were called to Northumberland Park shortly early on Sunday morning after a man was found unresponsive with multiple stab wounds.
Despite attempts by paramedics to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at the scene near the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.
Tottenham confirmed the fixture would still take place at its scheduled 1700 GMT kick-off time.
"Following an incident in which an individual has lost their life, we are doing everything to accommodate the ongoing police investigation, which is of the utmost importance," a Tottenham statement said.
