• Incident was reported to
police by fellow
Chelsea fan• Spurs investigating abuse of Antonio RüdigerEnglish football’s
racism crisis took a new twist after it emerged that a Chelsea supporter was arrested for allegedly racially abusing
Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min on Sunday– during the
Premier League match that had to be paused because a monkey chant was aimed at Chelsea’s Antonio Rüdiger by members of the home crowd.
Anthony Taylor, the referee, stopped play after Rüdiger claimed he had heard racist taunts during the second half of Chelsea’s victory over their
London rivals. An announcement on the public address system informed the crowd at the Tottenham stadium that “racist behaviour from spectators is interfering with the game”. The announcement was made on two further occasions, in line with Premier League protocols.
