On Thursday, Chelsea football club vowed to take the strongest action against the ‘idoit’ whose gestures were aimed at Tottenham’s Son Heung-min in the last Sunday’s premier league match. This happened when the Tottenham forward was taking a corner at Stamford Bridge when the fellow made a gesture indicating the 2021/22 top scorer’s ethnicity.
Chelsea described the incident as ‘totally abhorrent’ and is said the incident was going to be investigated to identify the individual responsible.

“Chelsea FC has consistently made its zero tolerance position on discriminatory behaviour very clear, yet there are still idiots like this that attach themselves to this club as so-called ‘fans’, which shames Chelsea FC, our coaches, players, staff and our true supporters. We are investigating this incident and, if identified, this individual will face the strongest action from the club,” the club statement said.
“Chelsea Football Club finds any form of discriminatory behaviour totally abhorrent. It has no place at Chelsea or in any of our communities.
ACTION TAKEN:
The club statement read, “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.”
