Chelsea fan found guilty after aiming Nazi salutes at Tottenham fans

A Chelsea season ticket holder who made 13 Nazi salutes at Spurs fans in just 15 minutes claimed he was just waving to his mates, a court heard on Thursday.

Fabien Richardson, 21, was caught raising his arm with a straightened hand towards rival supporters in the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in May.

The game, a feisty encounter christened the 'Battle of the Bridge' after both clubs were charged for failing to control their players following a string of on-the-field clashes, handed Leicester an unlikely Premier league title as Spurs needed to win the game to prolong the championship race.
