LONDON (AP) – Tottenham on Sunday condemned what the club described as “vile and dehumanizing racism” directed at defender Kevin Danso. 2-2 draw with Brighton<\/span> in the premier league.<\/p>\n

The Austrian centre-back was responsible for Georginio Rutter’s equalizing goal in stoppage time against Brighton, which sent Tottenham into the relegation zone on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Tottenham have announced that they have reported racist abuse towards Danso on social media to police.<\/p>\n

Tottenham said in a statement: “Kevin Danso has been and continues to be the subject of serious and abhorrent racist abuse on social media since yesterday’s game against Brighton during the Premier League’s anti-racism weekend.”<\/p>\n

“We have seen and heard vile and dehumanizing racism. It is undoubtedly a criminal act. It will not be tolerated.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham said: “We will press ahead with the strongest possible measures against all those identified.”<\/p>\n

“Kevin has our full and unconditional support as a player and as a person,” the club said in a statement. “No one at this club is going to face this situation in isolation.”<\/p>\n

The Premier League issued a statement on X in support of Danso, warning that “individuals identified and found guilty of discrimination will face the strongest possible consequences, including suspension from the club and legal prosecution.”<\/p>\n
