Chelsea bans supporter for allegedly racially abusing Son
Chelsea has banned a season-ticket holder indefinitely for alleged racist abuse directed at Son Heung-min during the match against Tottenham in the Premier League, the club said Saturday.
Son, the South Korea forward, was subjected to abuse from a member of the crowd at Stamford Bridge in the 2-2 draw last Sunday.
Chelsea has concluded an investigation by issuing a ban.
Chelsea has previously handed out life bans to supporters found guilty of racial abuse at its ground.
The Blues took their latest initiative in the long-running "No To Hate" campaign before Sunday's game, taking steps to make it easier for spectators to report alleged abuse.
