Chelsea ban supporter indefinitely after alleged racist abuse of Son Heung-min
- Tottenham’s South Korean forward reportedly racially abused during last weekend’s Premier League game at Stamford Bridge
- Chelsea release tweet saying club has identified and banned a season-ticket holder
Chelsea have banned a season-ticket holder indefinitely following reports that Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min was racially abused during last weekend’s Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.
The BBC reported that the incident took place when South Korea international Son went to take a corner in the second half of the August 14 game, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Chelsea released a statement after the match saying the club finds any form of discriminatory behaviour “totally abhorrent”.
“Following our statement this week on racist abuse at the Tottenham game last Sunday, Chelsea Football Club can confirm that it has identified and banned a season-ticket holder indefinitely,” Chelsea tweeted on Saturday.
Chelsea play away to Leeds United on Sunday.
The West London club have previously handed out life bans to supporters found guilty of racial abuse at their ground.
