Heavy snowfall blanketed northern England on Sunday, creating wintry conditions for a trio of Premier League matches. Here’s a look at some of the best images from a picturesque day in England’s top flight:<\/p>\n

Burnley vs. Tottenham Hotspur<\/h3>\n

This one never even got started, as the adverse weather forced a postponement of Burnley’s contest with Tottenham. It’s no surprise considering the state of Turf Moor.<\/p>\n

There’s a football pitch under there somewhere – we think:<\/p>\n

Some Tottenham players made the most of the situation with a snowball fight:<\/p>\n

Leicester City vs. Watford<\/h3>\n

Leicester’s 4-2 victory over Watford began like any other contest – the field was actually green – but the scene eventually resembled a winter wonderland.<\/p>\n

As is always the case in these situations, members of the grounds crew were the heroes:<\/p>\n

Perhaps they should have kept the sprinklers off for this one:<\/p>\n

Manchester City vs. West Ham United<\/h3>\n

Manchester City claimed a 2-1 win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium, overcoming both the conditions and the dangerous Hammers.<\/p>\n

Marking Pep Guardiola’s attackers is already difficult, but the weather rendered City’s home kits nearly indistinguishable:<\/p>\n

A more cohesive unit: Manchester City in full flight, or the club’s groundskeepers? <\/p>\n

Spare a thought for the goalkeepers in today’s snow-filled games; they don’t get to run around and stay warm like their outfield peers:<\/p>\n
