Man City condemn alleged racist abuse aimed at Antoine Semenyo after Everton fan arrested
Antoine Semenyo was allegedly subjected to racist abuse during Monday's 3-3 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium. As a result, a supporter was arrested.
A 71-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence, which was reported by both stewards and fans. He has since been bailed with conditions, including restrictions preventing him from going within one mile of any designated sports stadium for a period of up to four hours before kick-off, during matches and up to four hours after the final whistle. Manchester City condemned the alleged abuse of Semenyo and offered their support to both the winger and defender Marc Guehi, who was targeted on social media after his mistake led to Everton's first goal, scored by Thierno Barry. Everton released a statement underlining their opposition to racism and other forms of discrimination. City said, "Manchester City strongly condemns the racist abuse directed towards Antoine Semenyo at yesterday's match. We welcome the swift action taken by Everton and the police to identify the individual responsible." City also said, "We are also incredibly disappointed to hear that Marc Guehi was subject to a series of vile racist social media posts last night." Everton said, "Everton Football Club can confirm that a supporter was arrested during Monday evening's 3-3 Premier League draw with Manchester City at Hill Dickinson Stadium following reports of racist abuse directed towards an opposition player." Everton also said, "Racism and discrimination in all forms are completely unacceptable. They have no place in our stadia, our sport or in society, and behaviour of this nature will not be tolerated."
