• Message repeatedly read out over PA at Tottenham Stadium
• Chelsea reported abuse aimed at Antonio Rüdiger to referee
Chelsea’s 2-0 away win over Tottenham was marred by alleged racist abuse from the stands. Stadium announcements were made to fans for the first time in the Premier League under Uefa’s new protocol.
The first announcement came shortly after Son Heung-min was sent off for violent conduct after kicking out at Antonio Rüdiger. The Chelsea defender then appeared to claim a supporter was making a monkey gesture towards him.
