Bournemouth's fuming captain has revealed how Antoine Semenyo was hurt by the alleged racist abuse made towards him by a Liverpool fan on Friday night.

The football world has come out to condemn the incident, which saw a fan in a wheelchair thrown of Anfield by police after appearing to heckle him while he prepared to take a throw.

Despite the first-half incident, Semenyo scored twice in a breathtaking encounter as Liverpool won 4-2 and paid tribute to their late forward Diogo Jota.

Semenyo has since broken his silence on Instagram, asking 'when will it stop' after a fan posted monkey emojis under one of his photographs, and his captain Adam Smith has livid after the game.
