Chelsea ban season ticket holder for racist abuse at Tottenham’s Son

Chelsea have banned a season ticket holder after Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-Min was subjected to racist abuse during the sides’ game at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

The west London club launched an investigation after footage on social media showed a fan in the stadium’s Shed End directing a racist gesture at Son during the 2-2 draw on Sunday, promising the “strongest action from the club” if the supporter was identified.

And on Saturday Chelsea made an official statement in which they confirmed they had “identified and banned a season ticket holder indefinitely” after their initial statement on the incident.

Chelsea previously issued a lifetime ban to a supporter who racially abused Raheem Sterling when he was playing for Manchester City in a Premier League match between the clubs, also handing temporary bans to five other fans in connection with the incident.
