Antoine Semenyo was the subject of alleged racist abuse during Manchester City’s 3-3 draw with Everton, leading to the arrest of a supporter at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Merseyside Police confirmed that a 71-year-old man from Nottinghamshire was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence after the incident was reported by supporters and stewards during the match. He has since been released on bail with strict conditions, including a ban from going within one mile of any sports stadium for a period before, during and after matches.
In a statement, Manchester City strongly condemned the incident, describing the abuse directed at Semenyo as unacceptable. The club also expressed concern over separate racist abuse aimed at defender Marc Guehi on social media following the game.
Everton confirmed the arrest and reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on discrimination, stating that racism has no place in football or society.
Merseyside Police said investigations are ongoing, with the club continuing to cooperate fully with authorities.
The incident has once again highlighted the issue of racism in football, with swift action taken by officials and law enforcement to address the situation.
