The Premier League say they have found 'no grounds' to replay Tottenham's match against West Ham after a number of Spurs players were struck down by food poisoning.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy sent an open letter to League chairman Dave Richards asking for the game to be replayed after defeat at Upton Park cost Spurs fourth place in the table and qualification for the Champions League.
But in a written response to the north London club, the Premier League said they 'find no grounds for acceding to your request for a replay'.
The League accepted the sickness and diarrhoea which affected a number of players meant it was an 'unsatisfying' way for the season to end, but said the board had to take a 'dispassionate view' of the matter.
