tottenham have banned one of their supporters for throwing a missile at the chelsea keeper kepa arrizaeat at home on sunday. the club haven't said how long the ban is for. a chelsea fan has been arrested for committing a racially aggravated offence during the game and tottenham and the police are still trying to identify a supporter who allegedly abused the chelsea defender antonio rudiger. speaking today, the chelsea manager frank lampard has criticised jose mourinho for questioning rudiger‘s integrity. the spurs boss felt that rudiger overreacted in an incident that saw son heung—min sent off. the chelsea defender claimed that he was targetted with racial abuse from the stands shortly afterwards. i think with tony in this incident, when he is having to post after the game about something we know is a huge deal, i think to question his integrity in that time is disappointing. because i think pretty universally, certainly what i heard in the commentary and all the post—match reflection was that the son incident was a red card. i said it after the game, it wasn't a brutal red card, but

one chelsea fan has been arrested for allegedly abusing tottenham player son heung—min. antonio rudiger‘s gestures told us what he'd heard — monkey chants playing for chelsea at tottenham, london, not a distant eastern european stadium. on twitter, rudiger wrote: "it is really sad to see racism again at a football match but i think it's very important to talk about it in public. if not, it will be forgotten again in a couple of days, as always." he also wrote: "i really hope that the offenders will be found and punished soon and in such a modern football ground like the tottenham hotspur stadium, with dozens of tv and security cameras, it must be possible to find and subsequently punish them." well, ultimately, a football stadium is just a place of employment and every employee has a right to work without experiencing discrimination. racist behaviour amongst spectators is interfering with the game. please remember that in football there is no place for racism. there was a warning on the loudspeaker at the game — football's protocols did in some form unfold, but the playe
