Tottenham have hit out at the racist abuse directed at Son Heung-min on social media following Spurs 3-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.
Son was at the centre of the decision to disallow an Edinson Cavani goal as the South Korean star went down holding his face after being fended off by Scott McTominay in the build-up to the goal, which referee Chris Kavanagh eventually ruled out after a VAR check.
The Spurs striker was later subjected to racist abuse on social media platforms.
Reacting to the vile messages targeted at their star player, Tottenham issued a statement on Twitter.
“Another matchday and more abhorrent racial abuse suffered by one of our players,’ read the statement.
“This has again been reported to the platforms and we shall now undertake a full review alongside the Premier League to determine the most effective action moving forward.
“We stand with you, Sonny.”
Last month, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry announced that he would remove himself from social media until the platforms started tackling the issue of racism.
The World Cup winner said he would only return once companies regulate online abuse “with the same vigour and ferocity” as they tackle copyright infringements.
Fred’s Manchester United team-mates Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Axel Tuanzebe are among those who have also been abused online this season.
