Chelsea Fan Arrested After Allegation of Racial Abuse Toward Heung-Min Son

Metropolitan Police confirmed a Chelsea supporter has been arrested following an allegation of racial abuse toward Tottenham Hotspur striker Heung-Min Son.

Chelsea beat Spurs 2-0 in the Premier League on Sunday, but the game in north London was marred by more than one allegation of racism from the stands.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed an arrest had been made after a member of the away fans was alleged to have committed "a racially aggravated public order offence" aimed at Son, per Sky Sports.

Chelsea released a statement on Monday, per the same report, detailing possible consequences:

"Chelsea Football Club will not tolerate any form of racism, nor is there a place at this club for anyone who is found to have engaged in such behaviour.
