Crystal Palace vow to ban fan after alleged racist abuse towards Son Heung-Min

Footage emerged on social media of an individual in the away section of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium seemingly making a racist gesture towards Son.

The South Korean had been making his way around the pitch and past the travelling Palace supporters in the 89th minute after being replaced by substitute Arnaut Danjuma.

A Palace club statement read: "We are aware of a video circulating online (as well as reports made directly to us) regarding an individual in the away end at Spurs yesterday, appearing to make racist gestures towards Heung-min Son.

"Evidence has been shared with the police, and when he is identified, he will face a club ban. We will not tolerate such behaviour in our club."

The statement on Sunday came shortly after Spurs issued one of their own, which read: "We are aware of an allegation of racial abuse towards Heung-min Son during yesterday’s match.

"Discrimination of any kind is abhorrent and has no place in society, our game and at our club.

"We are working with Met Police and Crystal Palace to investigate and identify the individual involved.

"We will do everything in our powers to ensure that if found guilty, the individual will receive the strongest possible action – as was the case earlier this season when Son suffered similar racial abuse at Chelsea."

The referenced incident at Chelsea saw Son suffer similar abuse at Stamford Bridge when Spurs fought back to earn a 2-2 draw in August.

Chelsea banned a season ticket holder while the Crown Prosecution Service issued an order preventing him from attending football matches for three years.
