Manchester City Stands by Antoine Semenyo Following Further Instances of Racist Abuse
Manchester City is providing support to Antoine Semenyo after the player recently revealed that he has been subjected to further racial abuse this season. The 26-year-old forward took to Instagram to share his experience, posting 'It's started again' along with a screenshot of a derogatory comment he received. This incident is the latest in a series of racist abuse cases Semenyo has faced, including one during the season's opening match against Liverpool, where he reported being racially abused by a supporter, leading to the arrest and charging of a 47-year-old man. Both the Premier League and The FA have condemned the abuse, reaffirming their commitment to addressing racism in football and ensuring that those found guilty face severe consequences. The football community, including Sky Sports, is united in making social media platforms a hate-free zone, encouraging fans to report any instances of abuse and working towards creating a safe and inclusive space for all.
