Son Heung-min was allegedly racially abused in the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace yesterday afternoon.
And now a video has gone viral on social media, you can watch the footage below:
Sonny has had to put up with this sort of hideous nonsense too many times in this country. Chelsea acted decisively when it happened at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, I hope Palace (and Spurs) do here too. pic.twitter.com/aYCCXZBftw

Both Premier League clubs have spoken about the footage.
Tottenham’s statement:
“We are working with Met Police and Crystal Palace to investigate and identify the individual involved.
“We will do everything in our powers to ensure that if found guilty, the individual will receive the strongest possible action – as was the case earlier this season when Son suffered similar racial abuse at Chelsea.”
Crystal Palace have confirmed they will ban the fan.
A tweet read:
‘We are aware of a video circulating online (as well as reports made directly to us) regarding an individual in the away end at Spurs yesterday, appearing to make racist gestures towards Heung-Min Son. Evidence has been shared with the police, and when he is identified, he will face a club ban. We will not tolerate such behaviour in our club.’
