Chelsea Have Finally Identify And Bans Fan Who Racially Abused Heung-Min Son In London Derby Match.


Tottenham star Heung-Min Son was allegedly harassed as he took a corner at the Shed End of the London stadium. 

The alleged incident occurred during the second half of Sunday's 2-2 Premier League match, when the South Korean international attempted to take a corner.


In response to allegations that Tottenham forward Son Heung-min was subjected to racial abuse at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea says they have identified and permanently banned one season-ticket holder.


The west London team launched an investigation after footage on social media showed a fan in the stadium's Shed End directing a racist gesture at Son during the 2-2 draw Sunday, promising the "strongest action from the club" if the supporter was identified.


And on Saturday, Chelsea made an official statement confirming they had "identified and banned a season ticket holder indefinitely" after their initial statement on the incident.

"Chelsea Football Club finds any form of discriminatory behaviour totally abhorrent," the first statement from the club read. "It has no place at Chelsea or in any of our communities.

"Chelsea FC has consistently made its zero tolerance position on discriminatory behaviour very clear, yet there are still idiots like this that attach themselves to this club as so called 'fans', which shames Chelsea FC, our coaches, players, staff and our true supporters."



The London club called discriminatory behavior "absolutely reprehensible" in a statement earlier this week.

"Neither Chelsea nor any of our neighborhoods have any place for it."


On Sunday, Chelsea's long-running "No To Hate" campaign unveiled its newest initiative, which instructs fans on how to report alleged abuse through text or barcode on a smartphone, on the back of every seat.

They think that by pinpointing a particular location where incidents occur or are reported, it will be easier to apprehend offenders.

In the past, the club has permanently banned fans for racial offenses.
