Of all the questions asked on Friday night, Antoine Semenyo cut to the heart of football’s racism problem with some efficiency.
It came in a social media post a few hours after a curtain-raiser between Bournemouth and Liverpool that was, by turns, emotional, fabulous, pulsating, and utterly appalling.
Of course, the latter traced to the interaction half an hour in, when a Liverpool supporter is alleged to have racially abused Semenyo, necessitating the pausing of the match and, eventually, the fan’s ejection from Anfield.
Was it the same supporter in a wheelchair who was later escorted out by police?
