Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo has spoken out for the first time since he was allegedly racially abused while taking on Liverpool at Anfield.
The Premier League got off to a thrilling start as the Reds overcame the defiant Cherries to win 4-2 on Friday evening.
But what was a thoroughly entertaining game was arguably overshadowed by the shocking incident reported by Semenyo in the 28th minute.
As the talented Ghanian international was preparing to take a throw-in, he appeared to be heckled by a Liverpool fan on the sidelines.
After Semenyo brought the alleged abuse to the attention of referee Anthony Taylor, the match was temporarily paused with the score level at 0-0.
